Heather Evans, an ex-journalist, returns to her childhood home after her mother's inexplicable suicide and discovers hundreds of letters between her mother and Reave, dating back decades. When the body of a woman is found decorated with flowers, just like his victims, Reave is the only person alive who could help.
