About this ebook
Edgar Award Winner: Reporter Irene Kelly hunts for a murder victim’s body—with the killer as her devious guide—in a “journey into the heart of darkness” (Los Angeles Times).
A Library Journal Best Book of the Year and Anthony Award Nominee
Only one person knows where Julia Sayre is: her killer. Four years ago, the young mother of two disappeared, a story that soon became a personal mission for Irene Kelly. But the search for Julia proved fruitless. Now on death row for unimaginable acts of torture and murder, inmate Nick Parrish is plea-bargaining for a life sentence, promising to lead investigators—and Irene—into the dark isolation of the Sierra Nevadas, where they will discover what really happened to Julia Sayre. But Parrish has a terrifying surprise in store, and now his deadly focus is on a new potential victim—Irene Kelly.
This novel in the New York Times–bestselling series featuring the determined journalist and her homicide-detective husband is a recipient of the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award for Best Novel—and a “feverishly paced” crime thriller whose author is “in the mystery pantheon with Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton, Robert B. Parker, and John Sandford” (The Tennessean).
“Very impressive—deviously plotted, cleverly crafted, full of screw-tightening suspense.” —Booklist
“A page-turner.” —Chicago Tribune
“A first-rate series.” —The Washington Post
