New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman delivers an electrifying novel of suspense as a young manโs investigation into his sisterโs death draws him into the path of a sadistic serial killer.
He went searching for the truth. Now a killer has found him.
The more you know, the more there is to fearโฆ
Four years ago, fifteen-year-old Ellen Vicksburg went missing in the quiet town of River Remez, New Mexico. Ellen was kind, studious, and universally liked. Her younger brother, Ben, could imagine nothing worse than never knowing what happened to herโuntil, on the first anniversary of her death, he found her body in a shallow grave by the riverโs edge.
Ben, now sixteen, is committed to finding the monster who abducted and strangled Ellen. Police believe she was the victim of a psychopath known as the Demon. But Benโa math geek too smart for his high-school classesโcontinues to pore over the evidence at the local police precinct, gaining an unlikely ally in his schoolโs popular new girl, Ro Majors. In his sisterโs files, Benโs analytical mind sees patterns that donโt fit, tiny threads that he adds to the clues from other similar unsolved murders. As the body count rises, a picture emerges of an adversary who is as cunning and methodical as he is twisted.
At first the police view Benโs investigation with suspicion. Soon his obsession will mark him as a threat. But uncovering the truth may not be enough to keep Ben and those he loves safe from a relentless killer who has nothing left to lose.
