SUMMARY
New York Times Bestselling Author Wendy Corsi Staub is
the master of psychological suspense. Here, she delves
into the twisted mind of The Angler, who lures his human
prey the way he catches fish. Sometimes, he gets one
worth keeping . . . for a little while . . . No Such Thing as Coincidence . . . Staring into his frightened blue eyes, investigative
genealogist Amelia Crenshaw Haines vows to help this
silent little boy who is unable—or unwilling—to
communicate his past. Though her own roots remain
shrouded in mystery, she relies on tangible DNA evidence
to help fellow foundlings uncover theirs . . . until a
remarkable twist of fate presents a stranger bearing an
eerily familiar childhood souvenir. NYPD Missing Persons Detective Stockton Barnes has spent
his career searching for other people’s lost loved ones
and outrunning a youthful misstep. Now a chance encounter
with a key player from that fateful night leads him on a
desperate quest to locate the one woman he’s ever
regretted leaving—unless a savage killer finds her first. As Amelia and Barnes uncover intertwining truths—and lies
—the real horror emerges not in crimes already committed,
but in evil yet to come . . .
