EVIL SEES YOU

Two years ago William Bantling was put on death row by Florida's Assistant State Attorney, CJ Townsend - for the torture and murder of eleven young women.

EVIL HEARS YOU

Now three cops crucial to Bantling's conviction have been brutally slain. CJ knew them all - and the shocking secret they took to their graves.

EVIL KNOWS YOU

But it's clear that somebody else also knows the truth - though their reasons for wanting it kept quiet are very different to CJ's. Which leaves her with a terrifying choice: reveal the secret she swore to keep and stay alive - or be its last witness, and the next to die . . .
