Higginson, who reported that, in spite of the voluminous correspondence which passed between himself and Dickinson, he only met her twice in person.

A white woman has been bludgeoned to death with an altar cross in a rural church on Cicada Road in Walterboro, South Carolina.

Two young women are murdered on quiet Edisto Beach, an hour southeast of Walterboro, and the killer disappears without a trace. Thirty-four years later, the mystery remains unsolved. Could there be a connection to Stander's case?

Ida hat nichts bei sich außer dem alten, verschrammten Hartschalenkoffer ihrer Mutter, ein paar Lieblingsklamotten und ihrem MacBook, als sie ihr Zuhause verlässt.

Am Bahnhof sucht sie sich den Zug aus, der am weitesten wegfährt – und landet auf Rügen. Ohne Plan, nur mit einem großen Klumpen aus Wut, Trauer und Schuld im Bauch, streift sie über die Ostseeinsel.
