Mary Dubois’s quiet life as a writer shatters when the Sûreté du Québec arrives at her door. A killer is staging gruesome tableaux in the Québec wilderness, and he’s left a message: he will only communicate with Mary.

Reunited with her ex-lover, Officer Teresa Cook, and confronting the open hostility of her old tormentors in the police force. Mary finds herself drawn deeper into a web of psychological warfare. The killer’s notes are not just clues, they are invitations into a shared, violent history she never knew she had. To stop the slaughter, Mary will have to turn her terrifying insight inwards to her own bloodline—before she becomes his final masterpiece…
