THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Another twisty bestselling thriller from Lisa Gardner featuring Pierce
Quincy and Rainie Conner as they take on a case that hits far too close
to home.
Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash's older brother beat their drunken
father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their
lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be
adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie
Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all
experts on monsters.
Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas station, followed
by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of
Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront
mounting evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah's older brother,
Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun.
As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie
must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young
man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once
upon a time, Sharlah's big brother saved her life. Now, she has two
questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much
will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering
truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the
one standing right behind you.
