    "description": "\u201cPlease, not in front of my daughter,\u201d she pleaded. \u201cShe\u2019s just a little girl.\u201d He leaned closer, so close she felt his heated breath on her face. The blue jays that had been filling the valley with their chirping fell silent all at once when the woman\u2019s cry ripped through the clear mountain air\u2026\n\nDetective Kay Sharp vowed she\u2019d never return to her childhood home. On the night of her thirteenth birthday her broken family was shattered beyond repair, and leaving was the only option. Unable to fix her own past, she\u2019s been an FBI profiler for over a decade, desperate to save others.\n\nBut now Kay\u2019s back and only she can solve the crime that has rocked the tight-knit community of Mount Chester to its core. A dead woman has been found by Silent Lake under the dew-covered Fall leaves, her hair braided and her body wrapped in a blanket. This small town may be a stranger to murder, but Kay recognizes the signs of a serial killer. She\u2019s certain that the ritualistic nature of the scene means it\u2019s just a matter of time until he strikes again\u2013\u2013unless she catches him first.\n\nAs yellow do-not-cross tape flaps in the biting wind, another woman is reported missing. Kay leads a frenzied search for out-of-towner Alison Nolan and when she locates her car, Kay\u2019s blood turns to ice as she shines her flashlight on the backseat and sees a teddy bear. Alison\u2019s six-year-old little girl, Hazel, has vanished too.\n\nKay knows the missing-person investigation could turn into a murder case at any second. But as she hunts for the culprit, her own past closes in on her. Can she find the killer before it\u2019s too late? And will the secret she thought she\u2019d buried stay that way?",
