Book Synopsis
Riggsboro, Iowa. 1980. A young couple is viciously murdered in their sleep. Fifteen years later, a similar grisly killing brings two private detectives to town searching for a connection. Their client? An ailing psychiatrist who believes the murders are the work of an old patient.
At the center of it all is a lonely teenage girl named Charlee McCool, who upon discovering an insidious cover-up in the town's past, finds not only her own life in danger, but those whom she loves most. And as a killer closes in, a shady land developer with a checkered past attempts to hinder the investigation, with deadly consequences.
Soon all parties discover they are but players in a twisted game, hunted by a madman who knows all their fears, all their secrets--and every move they will make.
