Rookie cop Carrie Santero has always been fascinated by serial killers. As a teenager, she wrote a letter to Charles Manson in prison - and received a chilling reply. Then she came face to face with a child murderer in her small Pennsylvania town, an encounter that haunts her to this day.

Now, the discovery of a small human foot buried in the Pennsylvania woods will lead her to a decades-old cold case - and the darkest secrets of her mentor's youth.

Now the girl who survived that horrible ordeal has been found dead, an apparent suicide. Near her body is a letter from "The Master" - a bloodchilling promise to finish what he started.
