Book description
When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one
afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody
footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying
sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man
standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows
changes Abigail's life forever.
When the local police make a misjudgement which not only threatens
the investigation but places a young girl's life in danger, the case
is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal
Apprehension Team - paired with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who
resents him from their first meeting.
But in the relentless heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith
realise that they must work together to find the brutal killer who has
targeted one of Atlanta's wealthiest, most privileged communities -
before it's too late...
