"The author's flair for complex characterization makes both of the book's
professional-turned-personal relationships at least as intriguing and enjoyable as its
subtle suspense."Publishers Weekly

Twenty-six years ago, just before a series of brutal murders rocked the idyllic town of Bowers
Inlet, Cassie Burke lost her family and nearly her own life to a transient befriended by her father.
Back then, Cassie was a scared kid; now, she's a homicide cop. Back then, the suspect was
caught and convicted; he died in prison. But now the killing has started again. And all signs
indicate that the Bayside Strangler has come back for more.

With too many victims and too few suspects, Cassie has her hands full investigating the case,
while working through the old trauma it has brought to the surface. Luckily, FBI agent Rick Cisco
is dispatched to lend support. Together, Cassie and Rick must uncover the link between the dark
past and the dangerous present to bring this small town's long nightmare to an end.
