Book description
Three and a half years ago former Grant County medical examiner Sara
Linton moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her tragic past behind her.
Now working as a doctor in Atlanta's Grady Hospital she is starting to
piece her life together. But when a severely wounded young woman is
brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a
world of violence and terror. The woman has been hit by a car but,
naked and brutalised, it's clear that she has been the prey of a
twisted mind.
When Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Investigation Team
returns to the scene of the accident, he stumbles on a torture chamber
buried deep beneath the earth. And this hidden house of horror reveals
a ghastly truth - Sara's patient is just the first victim of a sick,
sadistic killer. Wrestling the case away from the local police chief,
Will and his partner Faith Mitchell find themselves at the centre of a
grisly murder hunt. And Sara, Will and Faith - each with their own
wounds and their own secrets - are all that stand between a madman and
his next crime...
