The one who got away - is the only one he wants.


It's been seven years since the Seattle Strangler terrorised the city.

His victims were all young, pretty, with their lifeless bodies found wrapped in a white dress.

But there was one who miraculously escaped death. . .

Lara Church has only hazy memories of her long-ago attack, and she's since managed to rebuild her life in a new city, Austin.

But then she gets some shattering news: The Strangler is back. And this time, he's in Austin.
