Description
On May 1st, two lives collide in the aftermath of a violent night that leaves one survivor haunted and one boy branded—setting in motion a decade-long pattern of revisiting the same date as old wounds resurface. As Jules Delaney struggles to understand why she lived after an attack by the elusive May Day Killer, Quinn Riley returns home carrying the unresolved grief of his mother’s murder and the consequences of a moment he never meant to cause. Each anniversary forces them closer to the truth behind the killings and the secrets that shaped their choices, while the killer’s next strike looms just beyond the calendar. Blending twisty, high-concept suspense with deep emotional stakes, this thriller explores fate versus agency, innocence lost, and the complicated ways trauma can both fracture and connect people. In Alex Finlay’s propulsive, character-driven style, the hunt becomes as much about redemption and survival as it is about catching a predator.
