It was his eyes. They made me think of glass. Transparent, blue glass.

Freelance journalist, Claire Wright, is offered a commission with the kind of fee which would mean financial security for both herself and her daughter, Annie.

But the job is to write the story of serial sex offender, Travis Crill, presently serving his term in prison.

Entering Crill’s world forces Claire into a winding labyrinth of ruthless pursuit and brutal secrets. Can Claire endure the revelation of the harm he has done to his victims? And while Crill appears to be the model prisoner, Claire senses the skilled manipulator beneath the surface.

Why has he chosen her?

How does he know so much about her life?
