She's dead. Her list isn't.
Two years after Dr. Stinnetta Thomas was exposed, Detective Maya Cruz has left homicide behind.
She wants cold cases.
Quiet cases.
Cases that cannot follow her home.
Then a package arrives containing a scalpel, a photograph of Stinnetta's grave, and a message:
You stopped her list. But she wasn't the only one.
Soon patients begin dying again from surgical wounds so precise they look accidental.
Someone has studied Stinnetta's methods.
Someone knows the names on her unfinished list.
And someone intends to complete her work.
Pulled back into the hospital she swore she would never enter again, Maya discovers that Stinnetta did not leave behind a copycat.
She left behind a legacy.
To stop the new killer, Maya must confront the possibility that the woman she hunted was only one piece of something much larger.
The surgeon is dead.
The lesson survived.
