From USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne comes a gripping first installment in a crime fiction series that follows Homicide Detective Kinsley Aspen as she navigates a web of small-town secrets while dealing with the haunting truths of her past... A quiet community in northern North Dakota was shattered in the aftermath of two grisly murders. The Fallbrook Killer walked free, thanks to George Aspen's unflinching defense. But for his daughter, Homicide Detective Kinsley Aspen, the acquittal is a scar that refuses to heal—on her career, her conscience, and the town's fragile sense of security. Now, one year later, a mutilated body is found in a desolate barn—the woman’s death horrifyingly reminiscent of the Fallbrook killings. Panic ricochets through the town as whispers of the killer’s return spread like wildfire. Kinsley is thrust into a relentless investigation, but this time, it’s more than a case—it’s a reckoning. Because Kinsley has a secret. A very dark, monstrous secret—the killer they are hunting is a copycat. The real Fallbrook Killer has been dead for a year. She knows this because she was the one who pulled the trigger. As the body count rises and the walls close in, Kinsley must face a terrifying question: how do you stop a killer when the monster might be staring back at you in the mirror?
