A string of shocking home invasions . . . The desperate search for the child who holds the secrets to them all . . . A series of sixes tattooed on a victim's neck . . . The countdown continues . . . Detectives Micki Dare and Zach Harris are back. It's been three months since that night - the night that Micki almost died. Physically, she's healed but the nightmares remain, and she can't shake the feeling that more happened that night than Zach is telling her. But why would her partner lie to her? Micki focuses on putting the past behind her and solving the latest case she and Zach have been assigned to. A string of brutal home invasions are rocking New Orleans, and the families targeted seemingly have nothing in common. Why were these victims chosen? And why do the victim's children have such startlingly different accounts of the invasions? The deeper Micki and Zach go into the case, the more they realize these are no ordinary crimes and there's something terrifyingly familiar at work. Their worst fear has been realized—the dark force they'd fought has returned, more powerful than ever. Suddenly, those Micki loves most are targeted and she has to decide if she really wants to learn the truth about that night . . . Terrifying and suspenseful, the new novel from Erica Spindler is a masterclass in thriller storytelling - you won't be able to put it down.
