The most dangerous enemy is the one hiding in plain sight.
When the mysterious death of a childhood friend forces homicide detective Alex Abrams to return to her hometown, she’s pulled back into a world of dark secrets and painful memories she thought she’d left behind. Alex, a battle-hardened Iraq War veteran, is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—and the deadly truth lurking in the shadows of her tight-knit community.
Teaming up with her twin brother, Lucca, Alex soon uncovers a chilling pattern of so-called "accidental" deaths—each one more calculated and chilling than the last. But as the body count rises, Alex realizes they’re not dealing with a simple string of tragedies; someone is orchestrating these deaths with a deadly precision.
The closer Alex gets to the truth, the more personal the stakes become. A ruthless psychopath is hell-bent on tearing her world apart, and her brother may be next on the killer’s list. With every step, Alex faces a race against time to stop a monster who’s always one step ahead.
Will Alex uncover the killer before it’s too late, or will the twisted secrets of her hometown claim her—and her brother—forever?
