Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers with protagonists carrying real baggage, not just generic detective types.
  • You want a mystery that actually surprises you with twists that land, rather than ones you saw coming from page ten.
  • You're drawn to stories set in rural America where community secrets run deeper than outsiders expect.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone thrillers over series commitments, since this is book one of a longer arc.
  • You need your protagonists morally spotless, because Emily's recent professional failure defines her arc here.
  • You're sensitive to graphic violence, as the crimes are depicted with unflinching detail.

About this book

A strange box discovered deep in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains contains a discovery that shakes a small town. FBI Special Agent Emily Slate, who lost her husband three months ago and recently failed on her biggest case, arrives in Stillwater, Virginia, hoping to redeem herself. She finds the body of an unidentified woman with her eyes sewn shut, crammed inside a box. No one in town has reported her missing. As Emily investigates, she discovers the woman's murder was not an isolated incident. She must risk everything to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from striking again. However, Emily is unaware that a darker secret underlies these murders—one that puts her directly in danger. This case could become either her greatest success or her final one.
