The second Will Trent novel, from the No. 1 Bestseller.

A broken window.
A bloody footprint.
A murder hunt begins ...

When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes Abigail´s life forever.

When the local police make a misjudgement which not only threatens the investigation but places a young girl´s life in danger, the case is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - paired with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who resents him from their first meeting.

But in the relentless heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith realise that they must work together to find the brutal killer who has targeted one of Atlanta´s wealthiest, most privileged communities - before it´s too late...
