His only demand: bring me Darby McCormick. Where has Charlie been all these years? And what is the secret hell only tell Darby in person?

Drei Mädchen im Wald. Stacey, Mel und Darby wollen nur ein wenig feiern und heimlich Bier trinken. Da hören sie die Hilfeschreie einer Frau. Und sehen ihren Mörder. Doch er hat sie auch gesehen. Drei Tage später ist Stacey tot und Mel spurlos verschwunden. Zwanzig Jahre später. Darby hat nie vergessen, was passiert ist. Sie arbeitet nun für die Polizei. Als ein junges Mädchen verschwindet, stößt sie in der Nähe des Tatortes auf eine völlig abgemagerte, dem Wahnsinn nahe Unbekannte. Was hat diese Frau Grauenhaftes erlebt? Wie viele Opfer wird Darby noch entdecken? Wer wird sie selbst schützen vor dem Mann, der ihren Namen kennt?

With a teenage couple also missing and Jane Doe seriously ill, the clock is ticking for Darby as she hunts for the dungeon before anyone else disappears or dies. And when the FBI takes over the investigation, it becomes clear that a sadistic serial killer has been on the prowl for decades - and is poised to strike again at any moment. A killer with links to horrors that Darby has desperately tried to bury in her past...

CSI Darby McCormick is assigned to the case and uncovers a piece of overlooked evidence from the Hale investigation - which brings her into contact with Malcolm Fletcher, a former FBI agent now on the Most Wanted list after a string of bloody murders. And when a third student goes missing, Darby is led into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with deadly links to the past - and a man who speaks to the Blessed Virgin. A man who wants to be a secret friend to the girls he abducts...

A mother and her son have been executed in their home and fingerprint matches show their attacker died twenty years ago. But how can dead serial killers return to haunt the present? The answers lie in the darkest shadows of The Dead Room. When CSI Darby McCormick is called to the crime scene, it's one of the most gruesome she's ever seen. But the forensic evidence is even more disturbing: someone watched the murder unfold from woodland behind the house - and the killer died in a shoot-out two decades earlier. The deeper Darby digs, the more horrors come to light. Her prime suspect is revealed as a serial killer on an enormous scale, with a past that's even more shocking than his crimes, thanks to a long-held secret that could rock Boston's law enforcement to its core. Is it possible to steal an identity? Or are dead men walking in Darby's footsteps? The line between the living and the dead has never been finer.
