San Francisco Bay Area newspaper reporter Gabriella Giovanni spends her days on the crime beat, flitting in and out of other people's nightmares, yet walking away unscathed. When a little girl disappears on the way to the school bus stop, her quest for justice and a front-page story leads her to a convicted kidnapper, Jack Dean Johnson, who reels her in with promises to reveal his exploits as a serial killer. But Gabriella's passion for her job quickly spirals into obsession when she begins to suspect the kidnapper may have ties to her own dark past: her sister's murder. Risking her life, her job, and everything she holds dear, Gabriella embarks on a quest to find answers and stop a deranged murderer before he strikes again. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan series! This is book 1 in the 6 book series.

From the Author

This was the story that wouldn't let me sleep at night.
As the mother of two young girls, memories of a man who sat in a jail cell and told me horrific stories about his life as a killer who preyed on girls made me look at the world a lot differently than the other mothers in my neighborhood.
I sat down to write a book about it and somewhere along the line the story took on a life of it's own and became a work of fiction. In my novel, there are some exact conversations that I had in real life with this serial killer, but fictionalizing the story gave me the freedom to make sure justice was served with a vengeance, something that doesn't always happen in real life.
This book is dedicated to all the girls brutally ripped from their family's arms, especially the ones I wrote about. Along with putting their stories in the newspaper, I have written their names on my heart - Traci McBride, Christina Williams, Polly Klaas, Amber Schwartz, Nikki Campbell, and Xiana Fairchild. They have marked me forever and I will never forget them for as long as I live.
