The sequel to A Killer's Tears, John Bae's A Killer's Devotion chronicles the explosive continuation of the deadly game played between Ian Ramsey and those seeking to bring him to justice for framing Hope Kane for the murder of her husband and the disappearance of her daughter.

A tense mashup of an action-packed thriller and a nail-biting courtroom drama, it is a tale of dangerous obsession, the quest for bloody vengeance, and the lengths people will go to ensure their interpretation of justice is served.

As Jackie Sire stands in quiet contemplation on the cliff edge outside a nameless facility, she notices a familiar figure nearby. "He was the same dark-haired man taking his morning walk to the rock formations high above the ocean. He never missed a day. His pace had quickened over the months he'd been here but he never wavered from the path that took him to that spot. … He ignored everyone who tried to speak to him. He'd just go about his business. Alone. Silently." As she ponders what brings him to the same spot every morning, she thinks back on the mysterious details she remembers about the man. Known as Patient 241. She saw him on a TV broadcast of the trial. Given the secrecy and the fact the man clearly did not want to interact with anyone, she kept quiet about seeing him regularly.

Something is different today, however, as today the man asks if she is okay. "A part of her wanted to say something to him, but she couldn't think of anything to say. She had no idea what to say to a person who was supposed to be dead."
