For fans of James Patterson, a gripping psychological thriller awaits.
Beware—The killer is closer than you could imagine!

In the serene town of North Bend, where crime was a rarity, a sudden wave of terror disrupts the peace.

Sergeant Jade Monroe, recently promoted, and her partner, Detective Jack Steele, receive a chilling notification: a nearly decapitated male body has been discovered at a local lake. Panic grips the town as murder, an infrequent visitor to North Bend, rears its gruesome head.

With each new victim, a bone-chilling connection surfaces—Jade herself.

As the body count escalates, time becomes a relentless adversary. Jade must unveil the identity of the perpetrator before her loved ones, or even she herself, become the next targets of this malevolent killer.
