An injured cop returning home to heal discovers something far more dangerous than her recovery when she stumbles onto a pattern of disappearances spreading across three states. Determined not to let the criminals slip away, Sloan throws herself into investigating the twisted case—drawing in a compelling partner who becomes her ally in unraveling the dark mystery. With her body still mending but her instincts sharper than ever, she's willing to risk everything to stop these predators before they claim their next victim. This is classic Nora Roberts: a resilient heroine, a gripping mystery, and the kind of tension that keeps you turning pages well past bedtime.
