Nell's just getting her feet back under her after the terror of five years ago. She's been in hiding since the serial killer the police dubbed "The Fairy Godfather" came into her life and started taking people out of it. She's adopted a new identity and moved far away from home, working as a barista and flying under the radar. That is, until her boss hands her an advance copy of a highly-anticipated novel and she starts recognizing the plot.

Since You Went Away is advertised as a romantic literary experience, but Nell realizes what it really is: a serial killer's confession not only to murder, but to his obsession. The hype around the book means everyone's talking about it and unwittingly trying to find her, the killer's own choice of final girl. She needs to uncover the real name behind the author's pseudonym and learn the identity of the man who murdered her friends before he can come for her, too.
