Some truths are worth dying for.

While tracking down an escaped felon, FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9, Blue, uncover a smoking hot lead on the location of dozens of missing children―including Evans own sister. The shocking discovery reopens cold cases throughout Colorado, along with painful wounds and the heartbreaking guilt Evans kept buried for decades.

Three years ago, hospital custodian Marlie Foxes world imploded, causing her to cut herself off from the world. But when one of the missing boys turns up at her hospital, he only allows Marlie to get close. Now, Evan needs her help with the boy―and he wont take no for an answer. When she finally agrees to work with him, Evan suspects theres more to the woman than shes letting on. Shes hiding something. The question is what.

As Evan and Marlie unearth a cult targeting runaways, theyre forced to confront not only dangerous criminals but the truths theyve both been avoiding―including the blistering passion they can no longer deny. But when more children disappear, theyll have to risk more than just their hearts.
