Over a span of twenty years, four boys have been kidnapped from their bedrooms, suffocated, and buried in a shallow grave. Serial killer or coincidence? Thats the question investigative reporter Maxine Revere sets out to answer when an old friend begs her to help exonerate his wife, who has been charged with their sons recent murder. Max turns her attention to three similar cold cases. If she can solve them, she might be able to help her friend. Haunted by her nephew Justins death for years, FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid yearns to give her family―and herself―the closure they need. When Max shares her theory on all three cases―that Justin may have been the first victim of a serial killer―Lucy is convinced that between Maxs research and her experience they can catch a killer and justice will finally be served. But the very private Lucy doesnt trust the reporter any more than Max trusts a cop. Max and Lucy must find a way to work together to untangle lies, misinformation, and evidence to develop a profile of the killer. Together, they make a shocking discovery: Justins killer is still out therestalking another victimand they already may be too late.
