And this time, Alex is determined to hit where it hurts most, bringing Kim face-to-face with the woman responsible for the death of Kim’s little brother – her own mother.


Kim and her team are closing in on the killer. But one of her own could be in mortal danger. Only this time, Kim might not be strong enough to save them…


Dead Souls: The truth was dead and buried… until now.
