The murder of a young boy. A small town living in fear...
A tear rolls down reporter Emma Frost’s wind-bitten cheek when she finds the body of a teenage boy hidden among the sand dunes of Fanoe Island. Looking closer at his sallow skin, she thinks that he looks strangely deflated, and the police confirm that he has been drained of blood. Only then does she recognize him as her daughter’s closest friend.
Gently whispering the news to Maya, Emma knows that what happened shouldn’t be humanly possible. As she strokes her sobbing daughter’s hair that sleepless night, Emma can only wonder what kind of monster stalks the island she calls home. Then a girl from Maya’s class goes missing.
Is someone targeting innocent teenagers?
The town’s worst fears are confirmed when another boy is found unconscious, his skin icy-blue, but his heart still beating. Emma feels a flicker of hope he could be the key to solving the mystery and finding the missing girl. But until he wakes and can identify his attacker, only Emma can protect the island’s children-but at what cost?
A dark and twisty suspense thriller that will have you reading late into the night. Fans of Lisa Regan, Mary Stone and Rachel Caine won’t be able to stop turning the pages.
