Description

From the bestselling creator of criminologist Lincoln Rhyme comes a dynamic new thriller star -- a tough-as-nails police deputy snared in a chilling fight for her own survival while tracking a double homicide deep in the Wisconsin woods.

When a 911 call from an isolated vacation house on Lake Mondac is cut short, off-duty police deputy Brynn McKenzie leaves her husband and son at the dinner table to investigate -- and walks into a scene of true horror. A visiting Milwaukee couple has been shot dead; Brynn, quickly connecting with the lone survivor of the carnage, realizes the perpetrators -- two masked professional criminals -- haven't left the crime scene. Unable to call for backup, deprived of her gun and her car, Brynn and her charge escape into the hostile wilderness in a terrifying cat-and-mouse chase. Will Brynn be the next victim?
