She profiles killers for a living. The man she loves just became a prime suspect. When FBI special agent Margot Phalen enters a prison interview room, she knows how to make killers talk. She's spent six years coaxing confessions from men already behind bars, uncovering the victims no one knew existed. Missing girls whose cases went cold. Families still searching for answers. It's dark work, but she can do it. She learned from the best. Her father was a serial killer. But while on location interviewing a killer who targeted child beauty pageant contestants, she gets a call that almost breaks her. A teenage girl has been murdered in Margot's small California hometown, and her partner, Wes—the last person to see the victim alive—is under arrest. The evidence is damning. The timeline is impossible to explain. Margot's entire life depends on being able to read killers. What if she's wrong about the one person she's let into her carefully guarded world? The only man she's ever trusted? Some cases hit too close to home. This one might destroy everything she has. An utterly gripping crime thriller that will have you holding your breath until the final confession. Perfect for readers who love Lisa Regan, A.J. Rivers and Robert Dugoni.
