Eleanor Kot knows about serial killers, but it's not through her police training. She's a sheriff's deputy in sleepy little Woodsbury, MA, where a bicycle thief still makes the newspapers. No one there knows she was once Ellie Wakefield, victim number eleven in the grisly story of Brahm Michael Coben. The only one who lived.
Now it's ten years later, and Eleanor's got the old knot in her stomach again. Three people have vanished from Woodsbury in the space of three years, all around the same time, July 16th. They seem unrelated but Ellie's gut tells her it's the work of one man. And then came the strange, anonymous cards after each disappearance -- "Happy Birthday, Eleanor!"
It's hot as hell in Woodsbury and her birthday is coming 'round again. Ellie contacts the one man she knows who will believe her, the man who had saved her from certain death years before.
"Fox Mulder, FBI," he said. "How can I help you?"
She only prayed he could.
