Her friend is missing. A teen has been murdered. And Leigh will have to put everything on the line in this serene town where secrets simmer below the surface…

FBI criminologist Leigh Brody arrives at her friend Elyse’s Alabama beachfront vacation home and walks straight into a crime scene. Blood spatters cover the floor, and Elyse’s worried husband and reserved teenage daughter have no idea where she is.

Her boss orders her not to get involved, but Leigh is determined to find her friend. She’s trying to understand reports of Elyse’s erratic recent behaviour when the body of a fifteen-year-old girl is found on the nearby boardwalk. And the case takes a chilling turn when another girl goes missing.

What deadly game had Elyse gotten involved in? And how much will Leigh have to risk to find the killer terrorizing this sleepy vacation town before it’s too late to save the vanishing girls?

A compulsively gripping and atmospheric crime thriller where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Regan and A.J. Rivers.
