Publisher Description
“An intricate thriller that begins with a missing girl and ends up in unexpected territory” from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell (RT Book Reviews, 4 stars).
A schoolgirl found it on a nature hike. A severed human foot wearing pink nail polish. A gruesome but invaluable clue that leads forensic pathologist Birdy Waterman down a much darker trail—to a dangerous psychopath whose powers of persuasion seem to have no end. Only by teaming up with sheriff’s detective Kendall Stark can Birdy hope to even the odds in a deadly game. It’s a fateful decision the killer wants them to make. And it’s the only way Birdy and Kendall can find their way to a murderer who’s ready to kill again . . .

Customer Reviews
The Girl in the Woods???????
I enjoyed this book but lost track of all the players! Way too involved in the storyline! I realize that a good mystery needs a cast of characters but this one had so many I forgot about the girl in the woods! A lot of twists and turns.... hard to tell the score without a scorecard! I learned a little about forensic medicine... always a plus when a book read for pleasure can provide a little new information too!
Awful!
You’ve got to be kidding me! I hope that there isn’t a city, large or small, that has a detective and pathologist like Kendal and Birdy. The story was poorly written and the two main characters bumbled around until the author threw something together at the end.
Hello mysterious thriller!
Great read. Engaging, unexpected and a page turner for certain. I ignored many life responsibilities to make sure I make it to the end. Purchasing the next book in the series right away!
