Ariel Cole is a sharp-tongued FBI agent with a rocky past and a knack for uncovering dark secrets. But nothing prepares her for the horror that hits too close to home, the brutal murder of a minister’s daughter, found strangled in an abandoned building. The killer left no trace... except a chilling pattern: every victim had one final date with a man no one can identify — and then they died. When Ariel discovers a strange man saved her life during a chaotic mission, only to disappear without a word — she can’t shake the feeling that he knows more than he should. But the deeper she digs, the more terrifying the puzzle becomes. Because the next name on the killer’s list might be hers. And the man she trusts most? Might be the one hunting her.
