A Nashville homicide detective makes a chilling connection between her past and a series of unspeakable crimes in a gripping novel of psychological suspense by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.

When Detective Olivia Newhouse finds evidence of foul play at the home of Carl Fanning, a pedophile recently released from prison, she suspects the motive is simple: revenge.

But as she interviews Fanning’s past victims, Olivia is stricken with severe migraines, blackouts, and the gut instinct that something bad is coming. Then there are the muddy clothes she doesn’t remember wearing, the injuries she can’t explain, and the hours of lost time…

As she races to locate Fanning, Olivia is further shaken to discover that her late father, a psychiatrist, had been visiting him in prison for years. She knows the connections are buried somewhere in her lost memories—but can she survive the truth?
