Als ein brutaler Doppelmord die Stadt Sawmill, Oregon, erschüttert, benötigt das FBI Autumns Spezialkenntnisse. Die Tochter des getöteten Ehepaars, die gerade ihr eigenes Leben beginnen wollte, verschwand in der Tatnacht. Wird Autumn bald klar, welchen Plan der gesuchte Täter verfolgt: Er will Paare bestrafen, die ihr Ehegelübde brechen. Die Zahl der Opfer steigt, und der Killer geht immer größere Risiken ein. Was als Suche nach einem neunzehnjährigen Mädchen begann, wird zu einem Katz-und-Maus-Spiel.

Sheriff Rebecca West knows she’s being watched. She’s seen the same car parked along the road—always at a distance, always watching. Even more concerning, the man with damning evidence against the senator tied to her parents’ deaths claims he’s being followed too.

When Sheriff Rebecca West answers a late-night dispatch about a fatal car accident on the bridge, she fears the worst. The victim isn't just any driver—he’s her informant. The man who risked everything to send her a thumb drive exposing the monster who shattered her life. He was on his way to Shadow Island, seeking her protection.

Special Agent Amelia Storm, a seasoned FBI veteran, thought stepping away from the Organized Crime Unit and its mafia entanglements would lead to less complex and dangerous cases. She was wrong. Now in the Violent Crimes Division, Amelia is haunted by a chilling pattern that mirrors mob brutality. Murder as a message. How else can she explain why this serial killer murders everyone in the home but leaves the victim alive...and horrifically disfigured by acid? Four victims in two years. All women with dark-brown hair. All social media influencers with a substantial following.

On the heels of receiving evidence hinting at the motive behind her father’s murder, Sheriff Rebecca West confronts a horrific crime scene. A pregnant woman has been brutally attacked in her home, her unborn baby ripped from her womb. But this is more than assault. It’s an abduction of the worst kind. Now, a newborn is in the hands of a monster. Determined to follow every lead, Rebecca locks down the island, launching an all-out search for the missing infant. But as the mother fights for her life, Rebecca uncovers chilling evidence of a man obsessed with the young mother.

Murderers never take a break, so when the body of a twenty-nine-year-old middle school gym teacher is discovered, Special Agents Amelia Storm and Zane Palmer are called in to help the Violent Crimes Division with one of their most puzzling cases to date. Because this isn’t just a random crime... It’s far more bizarre. The latest victim is the fifth to be found dumped in a rural area south of Chicago. The victims have little in common, except one thing...their internal organs have been removed with a precision that only a surgeon could achieve.

In her new role with the Bureau’s Violent Crime Unit, Special Agent Amelia Storm is ready to focus on new types of crimes—ones that aren’t mob related. She didn’t, however, expect her first case to take her to rural Illinois, where the tranquil waters of Lake Henry have been guarding a grim secret. Three corpses...and that’s just the beginning. Among the deceased are two recent victims, a young couple last seen camping in the nearby wilderness preserve. A third, a grim echo from years past, is a set of bones picked clean and left to whisper secrets of an older, darker crime.

Manchmal ist das Ende ein Anfang. Dreizehn Jahre lang wurde FBI-Agentin Winter Black von einem Mann heimgesucht, der abscheuliche Verbrechen begangen hat. Er ermordete ihre Eltern. Entführte ihren kleinen Bruder. Ließ sie im Koma zurück, wodurch ihr Leben sich unwiderruflich veränderte. Dreizehn Jahre lang musste sie seelisch und körperlich leiden. Zweifelte an ihrem Verstand und ihrer Fähigkeit, diesen brutalen Mann unschädlich zu machen. Dreizehn Jahre voller Trauer, Hoffnung, Angst und Hass. Jetzt aber hat sich der Junge, den sie vermisst, in einen Mann verwandelt, den sie fürchtet.

Als die Überlebenden des Massakers in der Riverside Mall viele Monate später einer nach dem anderen ermordet werden, vermutet die Polizei einen Serienmörder und übergibt den Fall an das FBI. Winter Black ermittelt und setzt sich auf die Spur des unsichtbaren dritten Täters des Blutbades, das sich in derselben Nacht ereignet hatte, in der sie den Preacher – den Mörder ihrer Eltern – zur Strecke brachte. Die Liste der Opfer ist lang, die der Verdächtigen kurz, und als der vermeintliche Täter stirbt, schrumpft sie zu nichts zusammen.

Leaving her in a coma that changed her life forever. For 13 years, she’s suffered mentally and physically. Often doubted her sanity and ability to move forward to achieve her goal of bringing that brutal man down. Thirteen years of regret. Of hope. Of fear. Of hate.

Six months ago, on the night Winter Black and her fellow agents took down The Preacher, a mall massacre occurred. Today, one of the gunmen responsible for taking 15 innocent lives that night is killed - with a well-placed bullet fired from nearly a mile away.
