#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner unites three of
her most beloved characters--Detective D. D. Warren, Flora Dane, and
Kimberly Quincy--in a twisty new thriller, as they investigate a
mysterious murder from the past . . . that points to a dangerous and
chilling present-day crime.
FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy and Sergeant Detective D. D. Warren
have built a task force to follow the digital bread crumbs left behind
by deceased serial kidnapper Jacob Ness. When a disturbing piece of
evidence is discovered in the hills of Georgia, they bring Flora Dane
and true-crime savant Keith Edgar to a small town where something seems
to be deeply wrong. What at first looks like a Gothic eeriness soon
hardens into something much more sinister . . . and they discover that
for all the evil Jacob committed while alive, his worst secret is still
to be revealed. Quincy and D. D. must summon their considerable skills
and experience to crack the most disturbing case of their careers--and
Flora must face her own past directly in the hope of saving others.
