When her father was charged as a serial killer, Nina Madden and her stepmother became pariahs in their small Maryland town. Though Nina never believed the hideous accusations, evidence led to her father’s conviction. When her father died in prison, Nina left Stone River and never looked back. But she couldn’t shake the lingering doubts.
More than sixteen years later, the doubts resurface when a new series of murders plague Stone River. And Nina isn’t the only one disturbed by the resemblance of these murders to the past. Wes Powell, the cop who pursued the original case, can’t ignore the eerie similarities between the crimes or their harrowing implications. Drawn back into the mystery, Nina and Wes will cross paths on their dangerous quest—and find themselves in the crosshairs of a bloodthirsty predator.

"The storyline of this book was believable yet undeniably creepy. It turned out be more complex than I or any of the characters thought! I like the underlying story of Regan's curiosity about Eddie Kroll as well. I can't wait to get through the last book!"
— Ashley (4 out of 5 stars)
