For the past three months, Eve Renner has struggled to
remember the night she was nearly killed and her lover was
tried for murder. She remembers getting the anxious call
from a friend from her past: βMeet me at the cabin. Iβve
got evidence.β She remembers seeing that friend lying in a
pool of blood. And she remembers a horrifying glimpse of
her lover Cole Dennisβs face as a gunshot plunged her into
darkness. Now, her memory and emotions scarred, Eve has
returned to New Orleans to forget the past. But the past
will not be forgotten. Eveβs shattered memory has helped
Cole walk on murder charges just as a new series of
killings begins.
The latest murders are bizarre and baffling. The victims
are killed in a ritual fashion, a series of numbers
tattooed into their bodies. 212. 101. 111. 323. There is no
clue to their meaning, no connection to the victims except
one: Our Lady of Virtues Hospital, the crumbling old asylum
that was once the scene of unspeakable madness. For Eve, it
was a second home as a child. Her father was a doctor
there, and she spent hours exploring its secret chambers,
hidden rooms, and forbidden passageways. Somewhere in its
decaying rooms lies the key to a terrible crime, a betrayal
beyond imagining whose echoes are now being felt with a
vengeanceβa crime that seems to lead to Eve herself. And
the only man she can trust with the search is Cole, her
former lover and, just possibly, a cold-blooded killer.
As forgotten memories begin to surface, bodies are found
and each twist leads to another terrifying piece of the
puzzle. Someone is watching, planning, luring her back to
the ruins of Our Lady and the shocking truths hidden thereβ
someone who has been waiting for this moment to strike. He
is deadlier than she could ever have imagined and closer
than she knows. For the sins of the past must be revealed,
the crimes brought to justice, and the price paidβin blood.
