The fourth book in the Kovac and Liska detective series from Sunday Times bestselling author Tami Hoag

As the dreary, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless, already bored with her new assignment to the cold case squad. She misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter and the sense of urgency of hunting a killer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Kovac is having an even harder time adjusting to Liska’s absence but is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a prominent university professor and his wife, bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Liska’s case—the unsolved murder of a decorated sex crimes detective—is less of a distraction: twenty-five years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away. Meanwhile, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster care: a beautiful home, a loving family, a fulfilling job. But a danger from her past is stalking her idyllic present, bent on destroying the perfect life she was never meant to have. As the trails of two crimes a quarter of a century apart twist and cross, Kovac and Liska race to find answers before a killer strikes again.

Detective Nick Fourcade arrives at Genevieve Gauthier's home in Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, to find a gruesome crime scene: her seven-year-old son, P.J., has been murdered, yet Genevieve remains unharmed, a perplexing witness. With no signs of forced entry or motive, the case baffles Nick, especially as his wife, Detective Annie Broussard, comforts the devastated mother in the emergency room. As a mother, Annie empathizes with Genevieve, but as a detective, she is troubled by the illogical circumstances. The situation escalates when thirteen-year-old Nora Florette, P.J.'s occasional babysitter, goes missing, igniting fear in the community and mounting pressure on the detectives from the new sheriff and anxious parents. As Nick and Annie investigate, they navigate Genevieve's complicated relationships and a cast of local characters, uncovering more questions than answers. The investigation takes a shocking turn when fingerprints at the scene link back to Genevieve, casting suspicion on her as both victim and accused. Is she capable of killing her son to escape motherhood, or is she spiraling into madness? Furthermore, what role does Nora play in this tangled web of tragedy? Nick and Annie must delve deep to uncover the dark truth surrounding the boy's death.
