An Amazon Graphs and Wall Road Journal bestseller.

Stunning evidence hits close to house for attorney Morgan Dane and PI Lance Kruger as Melinda Leigh’s multimillion-copy bestselling series proceeds.

Private investigator Lance Kruger was only a boy when his father vanished twenty-three years back. Since then he’s lived under the weight of this disappearance—until his father’s car can be finally dredged up from underneath of Gray Lake. It should be a time for closure, except for the skeleton found in the trunk. A missing person case gone cold has become one of murder, and Lance and attorney Morgan Dane must encounter the dangerous past that’s risen to the surface.

For Lance, the analysis yields troubling questions about a man he thought he knew. But recollections can play filthy techniques. For Morgan, uncovering each brand-new lie includes a disquieting dread that someone is out there watching, because someone is getting rid of every witness linked with this decades-old crime. Morgan and Lance follow in the shadows of a relentless killer and walk right into the cross fireplace.
