Synopsis

On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food. Still, she refuses help from a man in a pickup truck—Rebecca’s adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet.

Meanwhile, Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has spent the better part of two years hunting down a gruesome serial killer who drains victims of blood before severing their spinal cords, leaving a trail of bodies throughout the country. As Agent Donner’s investigation brings him closer and closer to where Rebecca and Moonflower are hiding out, in the foothills of Colorado, the life that Rebecca has fought so hard to hold together for her daughter becomes increasingly imperiled.

In this deadly, high-stakes game of cat and mouse, nobody is safe and nothing is certain—not even the line between predator and prey.

DEADLY PLEASURES’ MOST ANTICIPATED MYSTERIES AND THRILLERS OF 2024

This propulsive, blood-spattered pursuit across the American Southwest will leave readers horrified and hungry for more.”—Luke Dumas, USA Today bestselling author of The Paleontologist and A History of Fear

Wow, just WOW. I've waited a long time for a crime novel to do something different, to keep me guessing, to blow me away - this is that book.

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on July 21, 2024

2.5 Stars This was a pretty standard action packed thriller. It was an easy pageturner but it didn't provide much new or interesting twists. I would only recommend to readers looking for this kind of tropey narrative. Disclaimer I received a copy of this book from the publisher.......more
