Tate Echo, former FBI profiler, is trying to put the past behind him. A broken marriage drove him away from the woman and job he loved and sent him to the mysterious Black Hills to lick his wounds. Taking a job in his sleepy home town of Pine Ridge, South Dakota, he is far away from the big city problems and twisted killers he once stalked-or so he thinks.
One night changes everything as a local elementary school teacher is raped and mutilated and a dangerous killer makes his presence known. Now, with his job on the line and rumors as to the real reason he left the FBI, Tate must find some answers--even if that means opening old wounds.
When another body is found, confirming a serial killer, Tate calls in FBI SSA Emma Gage-Echo, expert profiler and his ex-wife. Though they have unfinished business to be settled between them, they must set aside their feelings and focus on finding the killer when a third grisly murder is discovered.
Once they realize that the killer is finding his victims among geocachers, Emma makes the decision to use herself as bait, ignoring Tate's protest. One dark night will decide their fate--to have a chance at a future or end it all at the hand of a ruthless killer.
