I’d once believed that nothing would equal the pain of losing my parents. I was wrong. I had barely even begun to process their deaths when it started. The love notes, flowers, gifts...all anonymously left on my porch. Then, I opened my door to a dead bird. At first, I thought it had died naturally. I knew that wasn’t the case when I found my neighbor’s cat the next day. Then, the murders started. The victims...women who looked eerily similar to me. I had a stalker. A murderous one. And I had no clue who he was.
