From the wickedly cunning mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner comes an unforgettable tale of suspense and secrets.
A young girl kidnapped in Hawaii twelve years ago. A female serial killer awaiting execution in Texas in just three weeks’ time. And Frankie Elkin, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings, determined to find justice. Three women on one terrifying trajectory, where the sins of the past and the secrets in the present all have the power to kill.
Missing persons expert and nomadic loner Frankie Elkin travels the country searching for the lost ones the rest of the world has forgotten. Her specialty, cold cases that generally end sadly. But this one could be different.
Kaylee Pierson, “The Beautiful Butcher,” confessed from the start to enticing 18 men home before slitting their throats. As the clock winds down to her death, Pierson has finally received a lead on her baby sister, abducted years ago. Kaylee’s dying wish: to know Leilani is safe and sound. Frankie is eager to possibly rescue a teenage girl, even if it involves flying to a remote atoll in the Pacific, where a charming tycoon is constructing an eco-resort—and possibly holding Leilani against her will.
But what price paradise? Because now Frankie is trapped on an island with a dozen strangers and numerous deadly deceptions. As the danger mounts, Frankie faces her toughest challenge with no chance of rescue, no hope of escape, and a massive storm rolling in…
