Acclaimed American novelist Jordan Worthington’s visit to her native South Africa marked a homecoming tinged with grief and the specter of unresolved issues.

In the company of her brother, Detective David Worth, and her school friend and crush, serial profiler Brian Harper, Jordan became enticed to write a crime novel based on the series of homicides. But as Jordan delved into the abyss, a haunting question lingered: were two killers operating in tandem, or did they share a twisted connection that fueled their malevolence? A break in the case gives her an opportunity to interview a suspect, Stewart Wilken. Instead of answers, she receives disturbing facts: poverty is the mother of all evils. Her obsession with finding two missing children became a relentless pursuit that threatened to shatter the delicate balance of her mental health because serial homicide is not for everyone.
