Description
A completely binge-worthy and heart-pounding mystery and suspense thriller
Fear prickles her skin. Noah? 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 Josies chest. Where is her husband?
Detective Josie Quinns 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 womans body at a protest, they were putting the finishing touches to a nursery for their first adopted child. But now the house is empty, Noahs bloodied handprints trailing the walls.
Every fiber of Josies 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 cant 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 mothers possessions: faded photos, jewelry, a lock of hair, and a few old newspaper clippings.
Beside herself with worry for Noah, and unexpectedly confronted by the trauma of her past, Josie throws herself into work. The womans body found during a demonstration outside a childrens 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 Josies own home.
Her head spinning as the two cases collide, Josies 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 mothers mementoes. But is Josie strong enough and fast enough to find it in time? And at what devastating cost to those she loves most?
