The lights of her parents’ cabin just visible through the woods, the girl carefully curls up amongst the reeds, her knees pulled tight to her chest. Terrified, the only sound she makes is the pounding of her heart, but she hears the stranger searching… if she keeps silent, will she be safe?
When Agent Tori Hunter is urgently called to the murder scene of Dan and Heidi Newman, she finds their throats slit, and Dan tied up: forced to watch his wife lose her life. Tori’s first thought is for their seventeen-year-old daughter Cara who is nowhere to be found. Will this popular young girl be the next victim?
A broken bracelet is the one clue left at the scene, but the team are running in circles until Tori finally tracks down Cara hiding in the woods. Sobbing, the devastated girl says all she remembers is a flash of a man’s face as she was chased through the forest…
Desperate to find the monster behind this crime, Tori pieces together the broken chain: and it leads her to an elderly lady living alone nearby. When the woman won’t speak to police, Tori senses that although it means breaking all the rules, introducing Cara will show this lonely soul what’s at stake. And once inside her house, Cara gasps when she sees a framed photo on display. It’s the man who chased her…
But then another local couple is murdered in their isolated home, another husband forced to watch his worst nightmare unfold. As more couples lose their lives, can Tori keep Cara, her one witness, safe from this vicious killer? And can she track him down before more innocent families are torn apart?

Review
This is another great book in this wonderful series!
Tori, Will and the rest of the team don’t really get a lot a time to take a breath. They are hardly leaving one crime scene when they are already called in for a new one. It’s obvious these case are connected, but why are there some things that differ too? Do they have the stamp of the same culprit as a case investigated in the past? Or even to more than one?
When they dig deeper into the case, they find some things out they are seriously thrown by. It’s very devastating and Tori is deeply hurt and shocked…
Life as she knew it, people as she knew them… Nothing seems the same anymore.
Her life started in Manchester Bay. She left and came back. She thought she found happiness, but she feels like she does not belong anymore.
And then the author decides to torture the readers LOL. I do hope you write very fast and finish book 4 very soon, because I need to know… badly. 🙂
I loved it. It was full of suspense and action. Great, greater, greatest. 5 stars
Thank you, Roger Stelljes and Bookouture
