From behind her came a noise, and she whirled around. Two pairs of cold, murderous eyes stared back at her from beneath hooded cloaks. She stood cemented in place, even as her brain screamed at her to run...
It's their usual Thursday girls' night in, and best friends Skye, Elena, and London are enjoying hanging out at Skye's house in New Mexico, eating junk food, drinking wine, and playing with Skye's little children, Carter and Abigail.
Until the intruders arrive.
Hearing the horrific screams from Elena and Skye, London hides the children, tiptoes out to see what has happened... and disappears.
After Carter raises the alarm, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is called in to investigate a bloodbath that appears to have no motive, no evidence, and worse still - no sign of London.
As Alyssa and her team dig deeper, the truth is always out of their reach... but what is clear is that they need to find London, and fast.
And as they uncover a link between the murders and a sinister local cult, can Alyssa find the young woman who has vanished without a trace - before London joins the list of victims?
Meet Detective Alyssa Wyatt. Mom, Wife... and a serial killer's worst nightmare.
An utterly addictive, dark and twisty detective novel with a twist that will leave you gasping. If you're a fan of Kendra Elliot, Lisa Regan or Angela Marsons, you'll fall in love with Charly Cox's stunning detective series.
