In the fourth book of the Wall Street Journal
bestselling series, FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick must unlock
the mystery of a mass murder, and the secrets of its silent
witness…
For Mercy Kilpatrick, returning to rural Oregon has meant
coming to terms with her roots. Raised as a prepper, Mercy
is now relying on her survivalist instincts to defend her
town from the people the law can’t reach. But this time, an
investigation calling up a dark past for her and police
chief Truman Daly may be hitting too close to home.
A rainstorm has uncovered the remains of five people—a
reprise of the distinctive slaughter of two families twenty
years ago. Except the convicted killer is in prison. Is this
the case of a sick copycat, or is the wrong man behind bars?
One person might have the answer. The lone survivor of the
decades-old crimes has returned to town still claiming that
she can’t remember a thing about the night she was left for
dead. As the search for the truth becomes more dangerous,
Mercy fears that the traumatized woman may not have buried
her memories at all. She might be keeping them a secret. And
there’s a price to be paid for revealing them.
