Now she’s onto the story of a lifetime: a convicted rapist-murderer freed from death row hours before his execution. Lester Ray Barnes had maintained his innocence from the very beginning—but a week after speaking to Regan, he mysteriously vanishes . . . and soon afterward, young women start turning up dead on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Is it a coincidence, or merely the next chapter in a grisly saga that should have ended in the death chamber?

Tracking a trail of chilling clues, Regan and FBI special agent Mitch Peyton must confront the horrifying possibility that they have helped to free a cunning monster with an insatiable appetite for death—and a ruthless determination never to be caged again.

Murder didn’t end Nina Madden’s life—it destroyed it. When her father was charged with the serial killings of several college students, Nina and her mother became pariahs in their small Maryland town. Though Nina never believed the hideous accusations, evidence led to her father’s conviction and guaranteed the death penalty. When her father died in prison, his case still on appeal, Nina left Stone River and never looked back . . . but she couldn’t shake the lingering doubts.

More than sixteen years later, those doubts are stirred to grim life. A new series of murders is plaguing Stone River: a killing spree that bears a striking resemblance to the one that sent Nina’s father to prison. And Nina isn’t the only one disturbed enough by the gruesome events to take notice. Wes Powell, the cop who pursued the original case, can’t ignore the eerie similarities between the cases . . . or their harrowing implications.

Drawn back into the mystery that refuses to die, Nina and Wes will cross paths on their dangerous quest—and find themselves in the crosshairs of a bloodthirsty predator.
