Thriller Police Procedural | Suspense
On a frigid December night, Karen sits at the edge of
Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River, dressed in a flowing gown,
like a visitor from the distant past. A beautiful and
shining young woman, she gazes up at a bone-white winter
moon like a fairy-tale princess frozen in time. At first
glance, one might not even notice that she is dead, coated
in a glistening patina of ice. Homicide cops Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano take the lead
on the case, uncovering a plethora of eerie clues – each
more warped and spine-chilling than the last. Yet the
identity of Karen’s pitiless killer remains a mystery. Then
the next victim is found upriver at an abandoned
waterworks, posed with an unlikely object in her clasped
hands. Struggling to link the victims and make sense of the
madman’s agenda, Byrne and Balzano follow his twisted
trail, which stretches into a past of dark crimes forgotten
by all but a few. Now the past roars back into the present with a vengeance
as the ingenious killer unleashes a torrent of rage upon
the streets of Philadelphia. As Byrne and Balzano sift
through suspects and clues, they unearth a shocking secret
history: a legacy of malevolence and cold-blooded
retribution dating back twenty years. And the farther they
make their way up the body-strewn banks of the Schuylkill
River, the closer they get to a villain from their worst
nightmare, an evil as patient as it is merciless. This jolting thriller coils back in time to deliver a
fiendish mystery, a shattering revelation, and one hell of
a wild ride. Lock your doors and turn up the lights. This
terrifying bedtime story will keep you up all night.
