Publisher's summary

In number one New York Times best seller Kelley Armstrong's latest thriller, the hidden town of Rockton is about to face a challenge none of them saw coming: a baby.

Every season in Rockton seems to bring a new challenge. At least that's what Detective Casey Duncan has felt since she decided to call this place home. Between all the secretive residents, the sometimes-hostile settlers outside, and the surrounding wilderness, there's always something to worry about.

While on a much needed camping vacation with her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, Casey hears a baby crying in the woods. The sound leads them to a tragic scene: a woman buried under the snow, murdered, a baby still alive in her arms.

A town that doesn't let anyone in under the age of 18, Rockton must take care of its youngest resident yet while solving another murder and finding out where the baby came from - and whether she's better off where she is.

Number one New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong again delivers an engaging, tense thriller set in perhaps the most interesting town in all of contemporary crime fiction.

Critic reviews

"Fans of thrillers, small-town mysteries and classic PI novels will be well pleased." (Publishers Weekly)

"Armstrong is an adept storyteller...who makes the rather out-there idea of a small, protected community full of people with things to hide seem not only plausible but entirely believable. Fans of the author who have not yet checked out the Rockton novels should do so, pronto." (Booklist)

"[A] master of crime thrillers." (Kirkus Reviews)

Love this series!

If you love dark, suspenseful novels with a mystery that’s satisfyingly solved in every book, and a bigger mystery that tantalizingly develops in each and every read, then you should be reading the Casey Duncan series. This time Casey and boyfriend sheriff Eric Dalton are on a winter camping trip. While playing with her dog Casey stumbles upon a dead body and a barely alive infant. Casey and Eric are determined to solve this mystery and return the infant to her family. No easy task but Casey never gives up. As the mystery unfolds we also learn more about the people that live in and around Rockton, a remote off the grid town that society knows nothing about and where your neighbour could be anyone good or bad.

This is the 5th instalment in the series and it’s just as great as the first. I hope this series doesn’t end anytime soon. Kelley Armstrong is an amazing writing and all of her books are a credit well used.
