Husbands and wives. Mothers and daughters. The past and the future. Secrets bind them, and secrets can destroy them. The author of Pretty Girls returns with an electrifying thriller that plunges its protagonist into a dark mystery that threatens to unravel him. When a murder is discovered at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is called in. The case escalates when the victim is identified as an ex-cop. Sara Linton, the GBI’s newest medical examiner and Will’s lover, realizes that the extensive blood loss doesn’t belong to the corpse. Bloody footprints lead away from the scene, indicating another victim—a woman—who is in imminent danger. Complicating matters, the site is owned by a powerful athlete, protected by top-tier lawyers, who has previously evaded justice. As the investigation unfolds, evidence links Will’s troubled past to the case, threatening to disrupt his life and the lives of those around him, including colleagues, family, and friends. Relentlessly suspenseful and fast-paced, this novel features conflicted characters and masterfully intertwines a gripping police procedural with a psychological thriller, exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption.
