More about the book

In this thrilling installment of Faye Kellerman's bestselling series, Rina Lazarus makes a shocking discovery in the woods of her upstate New York community, leading her husband, police detective Peter Decker, into a chilling investigation of decades-old unsolved murders linked to a diabolical serial killer hiding in plain sight. On a crisp September morning, while walking a serene woodland trail, Rina finds human remains buried deep in the forest. She immediately contacts Peter, a former LAPD detective now with the Greenbury Police. The tranquil scene quickly transforms into a chaotic crime scene as investigators uncover a youthful skeleton, a skull wound, and dark strands of hair. As Decker and his partner, Tyler McAdams, delve deeper, they suspect the remains belong to a missing student from the nearby Five Colleges of Upstate, where Rina works. The discovery of more remains confirms this is not an isolated case. With limited resources and no easy access to the colleges, Decker enlists Rina to gather information from campus gossip. Together, they navigate a dangerous web of suspicious individuals and untouchable academics, racing against time to protect their community from a psychopathic killer still at large and searching for a new victim.
