It’s been four months since
forensic psychologist Claire Britten last crossed paths with
danger. Finally feeling she can catch her breath, together
with her partner, criminal lawyer Nick Markwood, Claire has
settled into a new role, volunteering with a support group
for children stressed by domestic violence. But a leisurely
field trip to a wildlife sanctuary turns deadly, leaving
Claire to question whether the death was an accident,
suicide—or something far more sinister.
Nick gets
the South Shores team on the case, hunting down anyone with
a potential grudge against the sanctuary. But their
investigation turns wild when other attacks come too close
to home. With a hostile predator on the loose, Nick and
Claire will have to race to unbury the truth before a killer
wipes them from the endangered-species list for
good.
