Like a precious doll, the girl leans against the towering pine tree with her long bare legs stretched out and her hands folded neatly in her lap. Her head tilts towards the sky, but this innocent child will never feel the warm glow of morning sun again; her fragile little body is cold, her tender heart is still.
When Detective Katie Scott receives a plea from neighboring Coldwater Creek to help with a tragic murder, she doesn't hesitate. Fifteen-year-old Ivy Miller's naked body was found tied to a tree, a freshly inked pink rose tattoo on her arm. The word MORE carved into her back means sweet Ivy could be the first of many...
Katie's heart aches for the young girl whose life ended before it had even begun. But she has her work cut out with the inexperienced police department fumbling the case at every turn. There hasn't been a murder in this small town for as long as anyone can remember, but why will none of the locals cooperate? Katie's only lead is a blurry photograph of Ivy's long-missing mother found in Ivy's bedroom. If she can find out where it was taken, Katie knows she'll have the first clue in a mystery that has been haunting Coldwater Creek for years.
But Katie's world crashes down when Ivy's two best friends are found murdered in the same woods days later. Inked with the same pretty flower, the rose girls were keeping a deadly secret. Katie will never forgive herself for not making the connection in time. As mothers cling to their daughters, terrified to let them out of their sight, Katie's search leads her to an abandoned building deep in the forest where the last photo of Ivy's mother was taken. But will she survive long enough to stop more heart-shattering tragedies?
A totally nail-biting, keep-you-up-all-night crime thriller from a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author. Prepare to pick your jaw up from the floor at that final twist! Fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh will be absolutely gripped!
