A haunting inversion of crime fiction, this Edgar Award winner examines a serial killer's final hours through the women he affected, not his violence. "Spellbinding" (Megan Abbott) and "brilliant" (Ashley Audrain), it challenges our cultural obsession with murderous men.

Ansel Packer wakes on his execution day with a manic smile, examining his thumbprint in the jaundiced prison light. With twelve hours remaining, he clings desperately to hope through a cryptic note from prison guard Shawna: "I did it." The media branded him "The Girly Killer," a label he despises not just for its reductive simplicity but for how it diminishes the complexity of his crimes into tabloid sensationalism. Though never claiming innocence, he resents how his story has been distorted, how only his weakest moments expanded to define him entirely. As his final hours tick away, Ansel obsessively returns to his philosophical "Theory" - an elaborate metaphysical framework justifying his actions through complex reasoning about alternate realities. When sharing his writings with the stone-faced warden, he argues passionately that infinite alternate universes exist where our darkest impulses remained merely theoretical. The warden punctures this carefully constructed intellectual facade with devastating precision, asking simply: where would "Those Girls" be now in a world where Ansel hadn't killed them? With just minutes remaining, Ansel's philosophical posturing completely disintegrates, replaced by primal terror. When asked for last words, he abandons all pretense of intellectual superiority, begging pathetically: "I promise I'll be better, give me one more chance." In his final moments of consciousness, he experiences a brief but profound clarity - seeing with terrible lucidity how the world will continue turning without him, indifferent to his theories, his justifications, and ultimately, his existence.
