Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat
their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order
to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old,
Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by
retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie
Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family:
They are all experts on monsters.
Is he a killer?
Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas
station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting
his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie
race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting
evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah’s older
brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree
has only just begun.
All she knows for sure: He’s back.
As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly,
Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why
after eight years has this young man started killing
again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a
time, Sharlah’s big brother saved her life. Now, she has
two questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a
killer? And how much will it cost her new family before
they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah
knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing
right behind you.
