Ellery Hathaway survived something terrible as a child. Years later, she has built a new life and now works as a police officer in a small town. She wants to leave her painful past behind. But when a new murder case begins to look frighteningly similar to crimes connected to her childhood, old wounds reopen and dangerous questions return.
As the investigation grows darker, Ellery must face memories she has spent years trying to forget. The deeper she digs, the closer she comes to a truth that someone desperately wants hidden.
