The killer believes he is preserving the "light" and essence of his victims through artistic portraits. The story explores the themes of art, obsession, and mortality. As Eve delves deeper into the case, she must confront not only a twisted killer but also her own understanding of life and death. With the help of her team and her husband, Roarke Eve races against time to stop the killer before he can complete his macabre masterpiece.
