When the beloved pastor of Dry Creek is found dead in the woods—a cryptic message in blood on his chest—Assistant District Attorney Lacy Krammer is thrust into a high-stakes case that threatens to unravel the quiet Tennessee community she’s tried to call home again. Haunted by past trauma and determined to pursue justice, Lacy teams up with TBI Special Agent Marcus Trent to trace a killer whose brutality is escalating…and whose clues strike frighteningly close to Lacy’s own buried secrets.
As more victims surface, the investigation becomes a cat-and-mouse game stretching across state lines. With the help of determined allies, Lacy digs into old wounds, college scandals, and alarming patterns of silence among survivors and advocates.
The deeper they dig, the more they uncover a chilling truth: someone has been hunting, watching, and choosing victims with meticulous purpose—and he’s not done yet.
Gripping, emotionally charged, and relentlessly suspenseful, this is a thriller where the past refuses to stay buried—and where the truth may be the deadliest secret of all.
