A year ago, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant barely survived being abducted by a serial killer; hoping to recover, she has taken a job in her fiancé's sleepy hometown in the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. When Shana and fellow investigator Tim Wellington receive a call about a man missing on a private island owned by the wealthy Sinclair family, they find blood on the scene and discover that the family is crawling with dark secrets. Trapped on the island by a raging storm—and with Tim's reliability thrown into question—Shana is again facing a predatory killer, in this brilliant debut of a thrilling series.
