New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman
delivers an electrifying novel of suspense as a young man’s
investigation into his sister’s 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 fear…
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 her—until, on the first anniversary of her
death, he found her body in a shallow grave by the river’s 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 Ben—a math
geek too smart for his high-school classes—continues to pore
over the evidence at the local police precinct, gaining an
unlikely ally in his school’s popular new girl, Ro Majors.
In his sister’s files, Ben’s analytical mind sees patterns
that don’t 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 Ben’s 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.
