Publisher Description
A FEARLESS DETECTIVE. A STOLEN CHILD. A KILLER JUST GETTING STARTED.
From USA Today bestselling author Pamela Crane comes a terrifying tale of small-town secrets and murder.
Ari Wilburn’s life ended long ago—the day she watched her little sister die in a tragic accident and did nothing to stop it. Crippled with self-blame and resented by her parents, she stumbles through life … and onto an unexpected clue that casts doubt on whether the death was accidental.
Now a psychological wreck, Ari joins a suicide support group where she meets Tina, a sex-enslaved escapee whose daughter is missing and her long-lost father dead. Suicide, police ruled it. But Tina suspects foul play. As a bond develops between the women in their shared loss, they’re dragged into playing a dangerous game with a killer.
A serial killer with a deadly message.
Faced with a murderous wake-up call and two possibly linked deaths, Ari’s investigation puts her next on the killer’s list. But she’s never been one to back down from a fight.
Needing closure, Ari must face her demons and the killer behind them … or lose everything she loves.

The Art of Fear.
Very well written. I loved the characters, especially Ari. Many of society’s issues - dysfunctional families, mental illness, human trafficking - were realistically portrayed.
A very good read that was hard to put down.
