    "description": "Fear prickles her skin. \u201cNoah?\u201d Photos and trinkets from their simple but perfect life together litter the carpet. The coffee table is cracked, blood along its edges. She should be taking in details, but her heart is racing too fast. A strangled cry works its way from Josie\u2019s chest. Where is her husband?\nDetective Josie Quinn\u2019s world shatters when she returns home to find her house ransacked, and her husband, Noah, missing. When she kissed him goodbye hours earlier, called to the discovery of a woman\u2019s body at a protest, they were putting the finishing touches to a nursery for their first adopted child. But now the house is empty, Noah\u2019s bloodied handprints trailing the walls.\n\nEvery fiber of Josie\u2019s being screams to investigate. But her team warn her to keep her distance as they follow a connection to a recent robbery in Denton. But Josie can\u2019t quiet the voice telling her the handprints Noah left are leading her somewhere, and the trail ends at an upturned box of her long-dead abusive mother\u2019s possessions: faded photos, jewelry, a lock of hair, and a few old newspaper clippings.\nBeside herself with worry for Noah, and unexpectedly confronted by the trauma of her past, Josie throws herself into work. The woman\u2019s body found during a demonstration outside a children\u2019s hospital belongs to Gina Phelan, daughter of the powerful and influential Phelan family. Trawling the CCTV is a welcome distraction, but everything changes the moment fingerprints from the knife that wounded Gina match to prints found in Josie\u2019s own home.\nHer head spinning as the two cases collide, Josie\u2019s only option is to delve into the life of the monster who terrorized her as a child. The key to everything is hidden in the box of her mother\u2019s mementoes. But is Josie strong enough and fast enough to find it in time? And at what devastating cost to those she loves most?\n",
