Water's Edge

More about the book

A young woman's body is discovered in a secluded cove, arms outstretched and face untouched by injury. Leann Truitt, a redhead like the others, has tell-tale marks on her wrists, ankles, and neck, indicating she was bound. Beside her lies a puzzling symbol scratched into a rock. Detective Megan Carpenter, one of the first on the scene, is determined to solve the case with rookie Deputy Ronnie Marsh. As the investigation unfolds, Megan begins receiving unsettling messages that reveal someone knows about her traumatic past. She uncovers a chilling connection between Leann's murder and two other unsolved cases of redheaded women, all bearing similar marks and the same symbol at their crime scenes. Each victim was also pregnant, and the killer employs a methodical pattern of kidnapping and torture. When another body resembling the previous victims is found, Megan realizes time is running out to stop the twisted murderer. As she closes in on the killer, Megan must navigate her own secrets that threaten her future while protecting herself and Ronnie from imminent danger. The stakes rise as the killer continues to stalk, and Megan must act quickly to prevent further tragedy.
