She sings softly to calm her little girl as his heavy footsteps move away. She clutches her daughter’s hand tightly and breathes. They are safe now. Then she feels a sharp blow to her torso and everything dims to black…

Detective Katie Scott is enjoying a rare morning of peace when she is disturbed by reports of two bodies found at the local Pine Valley building site. Rushing over with her service dog Cisco, her blood turns to ice when she finds the skeletons of a parent and child, their hands intertwined, desperately clinging to each other. What kind of monster would do this?

Katie wastes no time pulling together her team and quickly identifies the victims by the matching silver bracelets on their wrists, each with half hearts. They are Meredith and Misty Collins, a mother and daughter who were reported missing twenty years ago. They vanished into thin air, but rumours swirled for years about the screams in the forest the night they disappeared.

Soon the case takes a shocking turn when Meredith’s husband is found dead the next day. Is the twisted serial killer hunting down possible witnesses one by one? And who is the shadowy figure who has been watching Katie’s home at night? With time running out, and those close to her keeping secrets about what happened at the Collins’ house all those years ago, can Katie stay one step ahead of the unhinged killer before another life is lost?

A completely addictive crime fiction novel for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh. A gripping roller-coaster ride from USA Today and Amazon bestseller Jennifer Chase.
