Publisher Description
At 19 years old, college student Josie Stratton was kidnapped by a madman and held shackled for 10 months in an abandoned warehouse before she finally escaped her hellish prison.
Eight years later, when the body of a young woman is found chained in the basement of a vacant house, Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland is instantly reminded of the crime committed against Josie Stratton. Zach was just a rookie on the perimeter of that case, but he's never forgotten the traumatized woman with the haunted eyes.
As more information emerges, the crimes take on an even more sinister similarity. But Josie's attacker died by suicide. Does the city have a copycat on its hands? A killer who picked up where the original perpetrator left off? Or are they facing something far more insidious?
Josie has spent the last eight years attempting to get her life back on track, but now there's a very real chance she could be the unknown suspect's next target. As Zach vows to keep her safe, and Josie finds herself responding to him in a way she hasn't responded to any man in almost a decade, the investigation takes on an even more complex edge of danger.
As past and present collide, Josie and Zach are thrust toward a shocking and chilling truth. A revelation that threatens not only Josie's life, but everything she's been fighting so desperately to reclaim.
Customer Reviews
Wow. Just speechless.
Wow. I came in, never having read a book by M.S. and I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t completely blown away. I have never, ever felt so emotional while reading a book. Never so moved. Never related. This book I’m speechless.
This story is heartbreaking while it’s also hopeful. I found myself making guesses along the way. The author did a brilliant job weaving threads throughout the story. No person or interaction felt rushed. No moment felt like it was incomplete. This is not only a thoroughly written book, but a book that you can’t put down.
Obviously there are some triggers in this book. And if you are sensitive I’d certainly advise proceeding with caution.
What a brilliant book Mia Sheridan. I am completely moved and honestly in awe.
