The lights of her parents’ cabin just visible through the woods, the girl carefully curls up amongst the reeds, her knees pulled tight to her chest. Terrified, the only sound she makes is the pounding of her heart, but she hears the stranger searching… if she keeps silent, will she be safe?
When Agent Tori Hunter is urgently called to the murder scene of Dan and Heidi Newman, she finds their bodies tied up—and their seventeen-year-old daughter Cara missing. Tori’s first thought is for this popular young girl. Will she be the next victim?
A broken bracelet is the one clue found at the scene, but the team are running in circles until Tori finally tracks down Cara hiding in the woods. Sobbing, the devastated girl says all she remembers is a flash of a man’s face as she was chased through the forest…
Desperate to find the monster behind this crime, Tori pieces together the broken chain: and it leads her to an elderly lady living alone nearby. She refuses to speak to police. But Tori senses that introducing her to Cara—even though it means breaking all the rules—will show her what’s at stake. Once inside the house, Cara gasps as unwanted memories come flooding back… will they lead Tori to whoever took the Newmans’ lives?
But then another local couple is murdered. Can Tori keep Cara, her one witness, safe from this vicious killer? And can she track him down before more innocent families are torn apart?
