Can a battle-scarred detective with chilling secrets seize her only chance of redemption in this gripping mystery from a talented voice in crime fiction

Dakota's world broke in two the day her best friend Flora was murdered - and Dakota has never been able to confess her own dark secret about that day.

Years later, and now a detective, Dakota is struggling to hide her trauma. At a crossroads, she is taken aback to be assigned a case back in her home town. A case that has uncanny echoes of Flora - and a connection to the same nearby Amish-like community, whose faithful flock might just be hiding a murderer.

Dakota's job needs her to unmask a serial killer. But her heart just needs to finally find out what happened to her best friend...
