A missing teen. Corrupt cops. Detective Jake Houser's search for a missing teenage girl has gone cold when a letter slipped to him through back channels changes everything. Was the missing girl taken by the same man who abducted and killed two girls in 1982? Did Jake's own police department frame an innocent man for those crimes? Is the real abductor still out there? And why did Jake's dad choose this moment for one of his rare visits?
When true crime writer Eddie Shaw gets the letter he immediately knows this story will put him back on top: corrupt cops, an innocent man in prison, and a killer on the loose. The missing girl ties the crimes of the past to the present and assure him of a best seller-if he can solve the case.
When these two investigations collide, the dark forces protecting the past fight back.
Can Houser and Shaw find the truth in time to save the missing girl?
