"A new murder mystery star--Candice Fox may just be your new literary addiction."--Primo Life "I fool myself that Eden has a heart--that she would at least have trouble killing me..." Most homicide detective teams run on trust, loyalty, and the shared desire to put killers behind bars. Frank Bennett's partner, Eden Archer, thrives on darkness and danger. She has a rare talent for catching killers - but her idea of justice has little to do with courtrooms. Now three girls are missing, and Eden is going undercover to a remote farm where the troubled go to hide and blood falls more often than rain. Frank's job is to keep an eye on his partner while she's there - but is it for Eden's protection, or to protect others from her? Walking a tightrope between duty and desperation, Frank confronts a threat from Eden's past--the sadistic crime lord Hades, who raised her. Suddenly, the hunter is the hunted. And a killer's vicious desires are about to be unleashed . . . The breathtaking new thriller from the author of Hades, winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Novel, establishes Candice Fox as a suspense writer of international renown and undisputed power.

killer in the making, Frank will have to place his faith in his beautiful,
dangerous partner Eden Archer-a cop who moonlights as a killer . . . Eden

that drive a killer gives her a unique edge. But with each jogger found
brutally murdered in Sydney's pristine parks, Eden can see where the

time. A fear she's never known. A fear she can't escape. A fear that, after
all these years, she will have to face . . . Praise for Candice Fox and Her
