Publisher's summary

The body count is rising in Northern Pines...

Tragedy has stalked Blake Larsen her entire life. After the violent death of her parents leaves her orphaned, her Green Beret brother Caleb is all she has left. He was there the day she graduated high school and the first person she called after she became a federal agent.

Then the cops find him swinging from the rafters. The horrific discovery pushes Blake to the edge of despair.

Then one of Caleb's closest friends is violently murdered outside her front door—and the killer snatches a folder from his dying fingers. It's clear Kyle was silenced moments before coming clean. After detectives slow-walk their investigation, Blake resolves to uncover the truth. Her way.

Blake teams up with Ryan Walker, another of Caleb's former comrades-in-arms. As they grow more and more entangled in the dark, intimate underworld of Northern Pines, they learn how far the killers will go to keep a small town's secrets buried. For years they've silenced victims and police alike through murder, corruption, and intimidation.

For Blake, this is personal. If the cops won't deliver justice, she will.

Awesome book

Awesome book….the first I have ever listened to by this author; and it will not be the last. Also, Brittany Presley never disappoints as a narrator. She brings the author’s characters to life.

Nice start to a new series

A well performed thriller which was quite entertaining. The plot was a bit predictable but certainly held one's attention.

A Little Slow to Start

I thought this book was a bit slow. I almost returned it after several chapters. I didn’t realize it’s part of a series with Blake Larson. I don’t understand how a seasoned and highly trained CID person could make so many errors and mistakes. That’s the part that bothered me the most. I probably won’t be reading any more books with Blake Larson.
