Three girls. Brutally murdered. Eyelids surgically removed.

Their killer never caught.

Eighteen years later... a new victim is found.

Carolina McKay thought she'd escaped her past. The murders that wrecked her youth. Her family. But most of all, her hometown.

After her promising career as a big-city police detective is ended by a gunshot, Carolina heads home to Dupray, West Virginia, defeated and purposeless.

Until the murders start anew.

Sheriff Lester Fenech, her mentor and surrogate father, feels old and outmatched. With less than a month until his retirement, he's desperate to solve the case which has tormented him. But he needs help.

When the first killings rocked Dupray, Carolina was just a teenager. Now, she's the best chance they have to catch a monster.

Will she be able to pull herself together and solve the murders? Or will her own haunted past get in the way and leave more dead bodies in a killer's wake?

A page-turning thriller packed with twists and suspense. Fans of Willow Rose, Patrick Logan, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gardner will love Carolina McKay.
