The knife slashed one way across her mouth, then the other, silencing both her words and her thoughts.

Things like this weren't supposed to happen in little towns, not even in ones named Slaughterville. Yet, here she was, her life bleeding out onto her kitchen floor...

When Jennie Killingbeck goes missing driving back to her home in Albuquerque from Colorado, Detective Alyssa Wyatt and the squad quickly swing into action to bring her home, alive.

But the missing persons case takes a twisted turn when FBI Agent Ryker Newlin walks into their station. For the past six years, the FBI have been trying to track down a killer dubbed 'The Sunset Slayer' - known for brutally murdering young, beautiful red-haired women and mutilating them with an 'X' across their lips.

The Sunset Slayer has taken lives in Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas, and upon seeing Jeanine's familiar red hair on the news reports, Ryker is here to warn the Albuquerque PD that they might have a serial killer operating in their midst.

Finding a killer in the desert of New Mexico won't be easy, but both Alyssa and Ryker are determined to bring an end to this vicious psychopath's killing streak ... before another young woman's body appears.
