In The Doll's House, a young woman awakens in a cold, dark cellar, gripped by fear and confusion.

Detective Inspector Helen Grace is called to investigate the case, and she quickly realizes that she is dealing with a cunning predator—one who has a history of murder. The evidence suggests that someone has been keeping the missing woman alive, even after her death. As DI Grace delves deeper into the case, she faces the daunting task of understanding the killer's motivations, all while racing against time to prevent further tragedy.
