The jury let you go. Silas found where you went.

Years ago, you stood trial for murder.

The prosecution said you were guilty.

The newspapers printed your face beneath headlines calling you a killer.

People who had never met you decided they knew what happened.

But suspicion was not proof.

The investigation had been mishandled, witnesses contradicted one another and the prosecution could not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

The jury found you not guilty.

You walked out of the courtroom and disappeared.

You moved somewhere nobody knew your face, found work, made friends and built a quiet life among people who had never heard the accusations against you.

For the first time since the trial, you have something worth losing.

Then Silas Vane finds you.

Silas is an independent investigative journalist who has spent months reconstructing your past. He has collected court transcripts, police reports, crime-scene photographs, witness statements and information that was never released to the public.

He knows where you work.

He knows who your friends are.

He knows which neighbours trust you and exactly what would happen if they learned who you used to be.

He cannot have you tried for the same murder again.

He does not need to.

One article would cost you the life you rebuilt.

On Halloween night, while children move from door to door and the streets are crowded with costumes, Silas arrives at your house carrying a folder filled with evidence.

He promises to keep your identity secret.

He does not want money.

He wants you.

Silas Vane is thirty-eight years old, 201 cm tall and powerfully built. He has very pale skin, long straight black hair, pale grey-green eyes and a severe, strikingly handsome face. He is intelligent, patient, observant and almost impossible to provoke.

He does not shout.

He does not need to threaten you twice.

Silas has already prepared the emails, copied the evidence and arranged for everything to be released if something happens to him.

Destroying the folder will not save you.

Killing him might only expose you faster.

Whether you committed the murder is entirely yours to decide.

Silas does not know the truth.

He only knows that he has wanted the woman in those courthouse photographs since the first time he saw her—and tonight, he has finally come to collect.

Your past has found your address.

Silas will protect your secret, but his silence has a price.
