It begins with a gift…
EMT and nursing student Angela Kassel has returned to her safe and familiar mountain hometown of Wolf Pen, Georgia after realizing the future she was pursuing is not the future she wants. Angela is accustomed to being the center of attention whether she expects it or not. When she receives small, personalized gifts in intimate places, she feels special and recognized, sure they are innocent tokens from an admirer.
Followed by violence…
Wolf Pen detective Ren Cave has seen his fair share of crime, the kind one would expect of the North Georgia Mountains: meth labs, poaching, domestic violence. But when a beloved local is found in the river with half his skull crushed, Cave feels in his gut there’s more violence on the horizon. What complicates matters is that his estranged goddaughter, Angela, is the last person to see the man alive.
and Angela is the only connection…
Angela is hiding something, Cave knows it, and the longer she keeps her secret, the more dangerous it becomes. As more bodies appear, they must put aside their animosity and work together to protect themselves and those they love. As they get closer to identifying the killer, they realize what they feared all along: the killer is already close to them.
From the author of the dark serial killer thriller series RUN RABBIT RUN comes a visceral, tangled mystery with dynamic characters, small-town secrets, and the dark psychological tension readers have come to expect.
