A decade-old investigation into the murders of several young boys has long gone cold – no suspects, no witnesses, no leads. Until a chilling phone call points police to the remains of a child buried near the ancient ruins of an Anasazi settlement. Is it a tragic one-off, or the mark of a serial killer resurfacing?
Then, the young son of Albuquerque’s mayor is kidnapped.
Detectives David Temeke and Malin Santiago are thrust into a race against time, chasing a predator driven by secrets buried deep in the past. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Boy Scout Adam must summon all his courage and survival skills to stay alive in the New Mexico wilderness.
As past and present collide, Temeke and Santiago are pushed to their limits in the second gripping novel of this fast-paced crime series.
