Fast-paced and filled with pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching suspense, the final instalment of the beloved Knox and Sheppard Mysteries brings the journey of P.I. Madigan Knox and Detective Grace Sheppard to a dramatic and emotional conclusion. Two sisters with a troubled past. A murderer with a kill list. How long until he gets to them? Grace was seven years old when her sister told her she saw a dead body in their childhood foster home. Between that and the drug trafficking her foster father was eventually arrested for, it’s no surprise that Grace wound up a detective. But Grace’s world is turned upside down when she discovers her current homicide investigation is connected to similar murders in the neighbouring city of Amherst. Is she chasing a serial killer? Going back to the city where she began her career is complicated to say the least—her old colleagues seem hellbent on jamming her up. Grace’s sister Madigan isn’t a detective in the official sense, but that doesn’t stop her from answering a call for help from John Talbot, another child who spent time in the same foster home. John believes someone is after him…and it might be related to a crime their foster father committed—one that was never pinned on him. It’s not the first time John has dragged Madigan into a dangerous situation, but her loyalty knows no bounds. And after a shocking discovery, the sisters shift their goal to staying alive. It seems that anyone with a connection to their past is in danger. Someone is tying up loose ends…and fast. In this race against time, it will take more than the bonds they’ve forged to survive.
