Seven years ago, they swore they'd never cross paths again...

...but fate had other plans.

"We both had bloody knives thrust in our overcoats, our fingerprints wiped clean. I stared into his mocha brown eyes. You don't trust a serial killer. You don't trust the innocence in his eyes overlaid with the glint, the thirst for murder. I knew that everything about Bennett was laced with deceit. Yet somehow, there was something about him... I just couldn't help it. I took out the knife with shaking fingers and watched him do the same."

Now, with old friends, new nemeses, and unsolved murders, Dalia and Bennett find themselves on the run.

Five days. That's all they have to clear their names before they end up with a lifetime behind the bars - together.

Forced in an uneasy alliance, trapped in a deadly game of survival, they wade through blood and bodies as the noose tightens.

Because the only thing more dangerous than a killer with a knife...

...is a killer with a heart.
