Perfect for you if...

You love procedural thrillers with protagonists who have genuine psychological baggage driving their investigation, not just career ambition.
You're drawn to stories where the detective's personal case and the current case collide, forcing them to confront what they've been running from.
You want a partnership dynamic that's electric and complicated, where two skilled investigators challenge and ground each other.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone thrillers over series and don't want to commit to multiple books to get closure on major plot threads.
You're looking for a cosy mystery or a lighter take on crime. This one stays dark and emotionally intense throughout.
You need a protagonist who has it together. Jenna's trauma is baked into who she is, and it colours every decision she makes.

About this book

In Atlanta, private detective Jenna Wyatt investigates a desperate mother's missing daughter—a case that mirrors the unsolved disappearance of Jenna's own sister years earlier. Jenna had left her GBI badge behind, hoping to escape her past, but this new case pulls her back into the shadows. Jenna reluctantly partners with Jack Parks, a former NCIS investigator, to probe Atlanta's criminal underworld. Their investigation uncovers a pattern of abductions and murders spanning decades. As they uncover layers of deception, Jenna and Jack find themselves in increasing danger, drawing closer to the secrets Jenna has spent years avoiding. With lives at stake, Jenna must face her deepest fears and decide what she is willing to sacrifice to uncover the truth.
