She dug the heels of her shoes into the soil as he dragged her toward the ledge. Rocks skittered down the embankment. Leaves covered the ground, crunching as she fought. "Please don't kill me," she pleaded. "I can't leave my daughter..."
When the call comes in that sixteen-year-old Minnie Benton's body has been found at the bottom of Midnight Ridge, Detective Ellie Reeves is first on the scene. The local sheriff insists that Minnie's death is a suicide... but Ellie can't believe this beautiful young girl would kill herself in such a brutal way. When a witness confirms there were two people up on the ridge, and Ellie finds strands of Minnie's dark hair in the thorny bushes, the thought of Minnie's terrified final moments sends a shiver down her spine.
Minnie's suicide note should provide answers but instead brings a shocking new twist to the case. The note is addressed to her baby daughter Iris, and as Ellie dispatches her team to hunt for the little girl, she can't forget the shaky handwriting, as if Minnie was forced to write it. And Minnie's love for Iris shines through. Why would she leave her daughter all alone in the world?
Desperate for answers and to find Iris, Ellie discovers that in the past year two other teenage girls plummeted to their deaths from Midnight Ridge, written off as suicides. But when Ellie realizes that they both left much-loved babies behind, she knows she is dealing with a serial predator.
With no sign of Iris anywhere, a call about a young mother and her baby missing from a nearby town fills Ellie with dread. Her mind races as she tries to get inside the head of this depraved killer. Can she stop their deadly mission before they claim another victim?
This completely addictive and jaw-dropping crime thriller will have your heart pounding as you fly through the pages! Perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Lisa Regan and Kendra Elliot.
