Lou wakes up from the operating table and returns to her husband and baby. She has been cloned back to life after being the victim of a serial killer. The replication commission chose her and each of Edward Early's victims. All viciously killed throughout the town. They all must now readjust to their new life despite the macabre fascination the public has regarding their plight.
Accosted at a shopping mall by a mother hoping for the resurrection of her child, a boyfriend follows one of the victims everywhere in the hopes of preventing another tragedy (but mostly is smothering), and even a VR game is created based on their murders. However, in this science fiction future, there are more practical twists that make for a clever read.
Lou works as a touch therapist. She dons a VR skin and provides hugs, holds people's hands, and comforts those who need it. She is assaulted and murdered in a park along with five other victims. Nothing is what it seems, however. Her husband is acting suspiciously, an amateur detective group thinks the cops are hiding something, and this VR game initially sets out dark Edward Clones only to be upended by revenging Vanessa. The twist at the end was fun and fair, the author telegraphed it, and it was very satisfying.
