From the #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today
bestselling author comes another book in the gripping Detective Megan
Carpenter series.
When the body of Leann Truitt is found in a secluded cove in Mystery
Bay, Detective Megan Carpenter is one of the first on the scene. The
victim has tell-tale marks on her wrists, ankles and neck where she has
been bound. But that's not all. Next to Leann's body lies a puzzling
clue--an unusual symbol scratched into a rock.
With rookie Deputy Ronnie Marsh under her wing and the investigation
underway, Megan starts to receive disturbing messages. Someone knows
about her traumatic past. They know what she did.
Determined to stay focused, Megan soon makes a chilling link between
Leann's brutal killing and the unsolved murder cases of two other
women--all redheads with the same marks on their bodies, the same symbol
carvings found at the crime scenes, and most shockingly, all had been
pregnant.
The killer stalks his prey, kidnapping and torturing them in a very
exact and methodical pattern. And he is not finished yet ...
When the body of another woman is found bearing a striking resemblance
to the other victims, Megan must crack the clues fast if she is to catch
the twisted soul before they strike again.
Megan might be closing in on the killer, but someone is watching her
every move. Can Megan hide the secrets of her past threatening to
destroy her future? And can she protect herself and Ronnie before they
both find themselves in terrible danger?
