A pair of ritual murders could expose Mercy Kilpatrick to
something terrifying: her own past…
Raised off the grid by survivalists, Mercy
Kilpatrick believed in no greater safeguard than the
backwoods of Oregon. Unforgiven by her father for abandoning
the fold for the FBI, Mercy still holds to her past
convictions. They’re in her blood. They’re her secrets—as
guarded as her private survival retreat hidden away in the
foothills.
In a cabin near her hideaway, Mercy encounters a
young girl whose grandmother is dying from multiple knife
wounds. Hundreds of miles away, a body is discovered slashed
to death in a similar way. The victims—a city judge and an
old woman living in the woods—couldn’t be more different.
With the help of police chief Truman Daly, Mercy must find
the killer before the body count rises. Mercy knows that the
past has an edge on her. So does her family. How can she
keep her secrets now…when they’re the only things that can
save her?
