A dark thriller in the Ellie Matthews series from USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fardig.

Ellie Matthews is tired of her fifteen minutes of fame.  After consulting on a high-profile murder case a few months ago, she wants nothing more than to fade back into obscurity and resume her life as a mild-mannered college professor.  But when a family friend goes missing, Ellie finds herself thrust back into the grisly world of crime scene investigation.

It isn’t long before Ellie’s young friend is found murdered and her death is tied to a previously unsolved case.  Based on the cryptic poems left on the victims, the department soon realizes that the killer’s vendetta is against them. 

It takes all Ellie has to push her personal feelings aside and partner with Detective Nick Baxter one more time.  The duo must stop at nothing to catch a vengeful serial killer before it’s too late.
