Synopsis
A doctor enjoys her drink in a dark bar. Something makes her look back. No one is watching her. But the tingling on her neck is still there. That same night, a stranger tries to follow her by car. Later, a letter from her father awaits in her mailbox. A man serving 18 life sentences for murdering women. What if someone is copying his crimes? What if they want it to look like it’s her? What if the monster was never just him?
First Part: The Monster's Daughter
Nora Davis lives on the edge of a scalpel... and a secret. A general surgeon, efficient, solitary, meticulous. But beneath the surgical calm of her daily life hides a story silenced for decades: her father, Aaron Nierling, was one of the most feared serial killers in Oregon. Eighteen life sentences. More than thirty victims. They called him “The Handyman.” And she, his daughter, grew up unaware that, while she did her homework in her room, her father was dismembering women in the basement.
—Twenty-six years ago today —Nora recalls in the prologue—. And he is also my father.
Since that day, Nora has carved out a new identity. She changed her last name. Never spoke to him again. Avoided the macabre fame of being the daughter of a monster. But every week a letter arrives from prison. She doesn’t open them. She just rips them and throws them away. Every week. Like a ritual.
