Two dead girls, another one missing, and a secret that will rip a tight-knit community apartā€¦

When a missing teenā€™s body shows up dismembered on the side of the road, Lt. Damien Kaine must crush her parentā€™s hopes of her safe return. The parents are pushing for details and answers. Two things he canā€™t give. The abduction of a second girl brings only one clue. The girls look alike.


As Damien searches for a sadistic killer, a disturbing pattern emerges. The more he digs into the communityā€™s history, the more missing girls he finds.


With the lack of evidence or movement forward on the case, a quirky FBI profiler is pulled in to assist with the investigation. Damien wrestles with disdain for the agent and an equally strong sexual attraction to her, as he deals with mounting frustrations.


Tensions rise with the abduction of another girl. Damien and his team are in a race against time to save her. But the case is about to take a frightful turn. What they uncover will not only rock them to their core, it will haunt them forever.

This might have been a fair story if all the rubbish "trying to be sexy" bits had been edited out. Mind you, then there would have been very little left. I wish I could reclaim the couple of hours I wasted reading this tripe. 27.01.2021

Good read and a straight on crime story. Good mingling of characters. SOS-tory only the names are different. Nothing too graphic or surprising. Really liked the cat added as a character

I liked the book and the characters but the ending was abrupt I would have liked it more if we knew who the other bodies were how Jason snatched them and what his sentence was and a little less about Damian Joe's love life

About the author

Victoria M. Patton uses her time in the Coast Guard and her Forensic Chemistry degree to craft the perfect murders. But since she is averse to wearing orange and being in prison, she keeps her murderous sprees between the pages of her books.

She has ten published novels, which include her Damien Kaine thriller series and her Derek Reed paranormal thriller series. She describes her books as dark, sexy, edgy mashups of CSI, Motive, and Criminal Minds.

Inspired by her cat Pumpkinā€™s advice on storytelling, her novels are not cozy mysteries and not for the faint of heart.
