Brooks Meeker swore she'd never return to Ennis. But after a bullet to the back ended her career as a crime scene investigator, she has nowhere else to go. When a local woman is found murdered-her body staged with a chilling message-Brooks realizes the nightmare she left behind in Chicago has followed her home.
Detective William Jett came to Ennis for a quieter life, but murder has a way of upending even the best-laid plans. The town isn't ready for the truth, and neither is Jett when he realizes Brooks might be the killer's true target. She's reckless, infuriatingly stubborn, and impossible to ignore-but she also might be the only one who can stop the bloodshed.
As more bodies turn up, the case becomes terrifyingly personal. A killer is playing a deadly game, one that began long before Brooks came home. And the only way to end it? Step back into the shadows she barely escaped... before she becomes the next victim.
