Over a span of twenty years, four boys have been kidnapped from their bedrooms, suffocated, and buried nearby in a shallow grave. Serial killer or coincidence?
Thatโs the question investigative reporter Maxine Revere sets out to answer when an old friend begs her to help exonerate his wife, who has been charged with their sonโs recent murder. But Max can do little to help because the police and D.A. wonโt talk to herโthey think they have the right woman. Instead, Max turns her attention to three similar cold cases. If she can solve them, she might be able to help her friend.
Justin Stanton was killed twenty years ago, and his father wants closureโso he is willing to help Max with her investigation on one condition: that she work with his former sister-in-lawโ Justinโs aunt, FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid. Trouble is, Max works alone, and sheโs livid that her only access to the case files, lead detective and witnesses depends on her partnering with a federal agent on vacation. She wants the career-making story almost as much as the truthโbut if she gets this wrong, she could lose everything.
Haunted by Justinโs death for years, Lucy yearns to give her familyโand herselfโthe closure they need. More important, she wants to catch a killer. Lucy finds Maxโs theory on all three cases compellingโwith Max's research added to Lucyโs training and experience, Lucy believes they can find the killer so justice can finally be served. But the very private Lucy doesnโt trust the reporter any more than Max trusts her. Max and Lucy must find a way to work together to untangle lies, misinformation, and evidence to develop a profile of the killer. But the biggest question is: why were these boys targeted? As they team up to find out what really happened the night Justin was killed, they make a shocking discovery: Justinโs killer is still out there โฆ stalking another victim โฆ and they already may be too late.
New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan's two series collide in a powerful, enthralling read about the craving for revenge and the desire for justice.
