Publisher's Synopsis
Fifteen years ago, a serial killer carved a deep scar through small-town Arizona and ripped Melissa Wilder's family apart. The madman butchered her big brother and left her father nearly dead, and then disappeared into eerie silence. Now Melissa returns home as a talented reporter eager to revisit the cold case -- just as the murderer resumes his terrifying spree against the town's innocent children. Desperate to end the bloodshed, Melissa turns to the only witness who could possibly hold the key to finding the killer: her frail father, but the killer has destroyed both his body and mind. When her 7-year-old half brother disappears, kidnapped by the madman, Melissa's quest takes on a dire new urgency. Can she piece together her Dad's fragmented memories in time to save him, or will the killer shatter her family again?
