A silent predator stalks London’s streets, and only Electra’s sight can find him.
When Scotland Yard asks for Electra Poole’s assistance in the disappearance of a young woman, her friend, Detective Inspector Gideon Pierce, urges her to refuse. Electra has already risked her reputation—and her safety—by aiding past investigations. This case is different. It is high-profile, and it may be connected to another young woman’s recent death.
But when Electra meets Violet Delacourt, who recently lost her mother and is desperate to find her missing twin sister, she cannot turn away. As she leans into the visions she once feared and begins to trace details the police have failed to see, Electra realizes this disappearance is no isolated tragedy. A predator has been moving through London undetected for years, selecting his victims with precision and leaving almost nothing behind.
Now the silence surrounding those deaths is closing in. And as Electra edges closer to the truth, she is determined to find the killer stalking young women before Iris Delacourt becomes his latest victim.
