In this Wall Street Journal bestseller, 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.
