Ross loved books from a very early age when she would find old books from her mother’s chest that she would staple and illustrate during her middle school years. However, she has always been a fan of vintage fiction and lists mystery and crime protagonist Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple as her favorite characters. Ross did submit queries to traditional publishers and had responses in turn, but at the advice of her husband, also a lawyer, she chose to pursue self-publishing. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one.

Then, in the early hours of the summer solstice, there is the discovery of a young woman’s skeleton inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. Even as the settings are a character in themselves, the novels are by no means a tourist guide to the locality as the stories are more about the characters that populate the novels. Thirty years later, the body of a teenage boy rises from the depths of England’s biggest reservoir and threatens to expose a killer who has lain dormant until now.
