WILL THE TRUTH SET HER FREEâ??OR SET A TRAP?

Murder didnâ??t end Nina Maddenâ??s lifeâ??it destroyed it. When her father was charged with the serial killings of several college students, Nina and her mother became pariahs in their small Maryland town. Though Nina never believed the hideous accusations, evidence led to her fatherâ??s conviction and guaranteed the death penalty. After the execution, Nina left Stone River to escape the hatred and persecution . . . but she couldnâ??t shake the lingering doubts.

More than twenty years later, those doubts are stirred to grim life. A new series of murders is plaguing Stone River: a killing spree that bears a striking resemblance to the one that sent Ninaâ??s father to the death chamber. And Nina isnâ?? t the only one disturbed enough by the gruesome events to take notice. Wes Powell, the cop who pursued the original case, canâ??t ignore the eerie similarities between the crimes . . . nor their harrowing implications. Drawn back into a mystery that refuses to die, Nina and Wes will cross paths on their dangerous questâ??and find themselves in the crosshairs of a bloodthirsty predator.

In matters of crime, there are many versions of the truth.
