He’s determined to protect his brother at all costs, even if which means making himself susceptible to a risk he can’t hear arriving. And the risk intensifies when Michael witnesses a about In to the Dark stranger eliminate his stepfather.

Desperate and scared, the boys have nowhere else to visit but to Joshua’s soccer coach, journalist and ex-Army ranger Diesel Kennedy. When Diesel views that Michael can be injured, he requires them to discover Dr. Dani Novak-not only because she’s fluent in American Sign Vocabulary, but because he’s drawn to her and everything she means. She never refuses Diesel’s requests-because she, too, feels their connection-but she resists him for factors she doesn’t want to confess.

When Dani and Diesel learn that Michael found the face of his stepfather’s killer, they fear for his protection. However they quickly find that it’s a whole lot worse than they feared: They may possess a serial killer on their hands-and all indications point to Michael as another target.
