It's been some birthday, filled with black balloons and gag gifts, a visit to her surgeon who isn't happy with the way her leg has healed and suggests amputation as an option "before she gets too old," and now a missed message from an old friend, a sheriff in a remote region of Idaho's Bitterroot mountains, who needs her help. Lucy calls back only to learn he's missing, presumed dead. Was it an accident? Suicide? Murder? The grieving widow and stunned community aren't sure what the truth is.

For readers of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and James Patterson:Lucy Guardino FBI Thrillers Book #2Just your average Pittsburgh soccer mom, baking brownies and carrying a loaded forty-caliber Glock... Until recently Supervisory Special Agent Lucy Guardino was a shining star in the FBI's roster. But after killing a man and disobeying orders, Lucy's been sidelined, chained to her desk. When a mysterious letter arrives hinting that, thanks to Lucy, the wrong man was blamed for a string of serial rapes, kidnappings, and killings four years ago, Lucy jumps at the chance to re-open the case―despite orders to leave well enough alone. Her unofficial investigation takes her back to the small town that thrust her into the spotlight four years ago when she saved the killer's last victims―before the killer took his own life and the life of one final victim, a mother who left a ten year old son and loving husband behind. What Lucy doesn't know is that what happened four years ago was all a lie, fueled by sacrifice and betrayal, designed to shield the real killer. With the lives of her family, a group of innocent children, and the future of one desperate boy at risk, Lucy races to stop an innocent from killing and a killer from butchering more innocents.Other books in the series:Snake Skin (Lucy Guardino FBI Thrillers Book #1)Kill Zone (Lucy Guardino FBI Thrillers Book #3)
