Twelve-year-old Erica is nearly orphaned when her father, Charles Sterling, is uncovered as one of the country’s most notorious serial killers. Twenty years later she has tried to move on by becoming a dedicated and committed homicide detective, while leaving him to rot in jail. But the past proves difficult to escape. When Sterling makes a startling announcement from his prison cell, she is faced with an impossible choice.
