SHE NEVER REALIZED JUST HOW PERFECTβ¦ Single parenthood is challenging enough for Zoe Hayes, raising a young daughter in Queen Village, a Philadelphia suburb whose homesβlike its residentsβhave seen better days. Then comes the blustery afternoon when little Molly makes a shocking discovery while playing outdoors: a dismembered finger.
HER IMPERFECT LIFE REALLY WASβ¦ What Zoe longs to believe is a gruesome fluke quickly takes on unsettling significance. One by one, young nannies are vanishing from the neighborhood, falling victim to a shadowy killer. Uneasily drawn into the chilling caseβand an unexpected relationshipβby enigmatic Detective Nick Stiles, Zoe assumes she and Molly are safe. But then terror strikes close to home.
UNTIL SHE FOUND IT IN JEOPARDYβ¦ Now, Zoe must accept that nobody in Queen Village is protected. A bloodthirsty predator lurks nearby, perhaps concealed behind a passing strangerβs friendly smile, a longtime neighborβs front doorβor, as Zoe fears most, perhaps even nearer than that...
