Sydney Shaw is thoroughly exhausted by the brutal New York City dating scene. After a string of disastrous encounters with men who are rude, self-absorbed, or just plain weird, she is ready to give up on love entirely.
Then she meets Tom.
Tom is everything a woman could dream of. He is incredibly handsome, remarkably attentive, successful, and deeply romantic. For the first time in her life, Sydney feels completely safe, cherished, and entirely swept off her feet. She thinks her luck has finally changed.
But outside of Sydney’s romantic bubble, a dark shadow is looming over the city. A ruthless serial killer is hunting young women in Manhattan, tracking them through the very dating apps Sydney just escaped. The police are baffled, the city is in a state of panic, and the killer’s calling card is as precise as it is terrifying.
