Then the FBI discovers a pattern no one was ever supposed to notice.
Twelve accused predators. Twelve cases that failed in court. Twelve men who later died or disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
And Erin Peterson is connected to every one of them.
As the investigation closes in, an obsessive figure from Erin’s past begins manipulating events from the shadows, while memories she has spent years trying to forget refuse to stay buried. Soon Erin is forced to confront an impossible question:
Has someone been watching her for years—or has she been hiding the truth from herself?
With her career destroyed, her freedom threatened, and the people she loves caught in the middle, Erin must place her fate in the same justice system she once believed had failed its victims.
Because suspicion is not proof.
Secrets do not stay buried forever.
And some lies are far easier to survive than the truth.
A psychological crime thriller filled with mystery, danger, and unexpected twists—without profanity, sexual content, or graphic violence.
