A forensic nurse. A missing sister. A city that holds its
secrets closely—the new riveting suspense novel from USA
Today bestselling author Eileen Dreyer
Forensic nurse Chastity Byrnes is trying to put the past
behind her. It has been ten years since Chastity exposed
her father for the monster he was. Ten years since she made
the accusations that shattered her family and sent her into
exile. Ten years since she’s seen her sister, Faith.
Now, though, Faith needs her help. Chastity gets a
call from Dr. Max Stanton, the brother-in-law she never
knew she had, to tell her that Faith is missing. Max begs
Chastity to come to New Orleans to help him find her. And
even though Faith was the one who deserted Chastity so long
ago, Chastity goes.
To find her missing sister, Chastity has to battle her
own demons in a city where forensics are an old boy’s club
and a woman can find trouble in her sleep. She has to wade
through distrust and deceit to get to the truth, whether
she wants to hear it or not. She has to rediscover the
sister she lost by investigating fertility clinics, the
powers of St. Roch, and the mysteries of voodoo. She has to
discover why women who might have helped her sister are
dying.
As a hurricane threatens the vulnerable city, Chastity
puts more than her life at risk as she fights to rescue her
sister from the threat that stalks them both.…
A searing portrait of family secrets and betrayals.
