A Twenty-six-year-old cold case. A disturbing secret buried in the past. An ailing mother's last hope.
Twenty-six years ago, Carmella Fitch's world was shattered when her daughter was abducted by a serial kidnapper. The suspect was caught, convicted, and later executed, but never revealed the location of his victims. Over time, Carmella managed to piece her life back together—but she never gave up hope of finding her daughter alive.
Until the bodies are discovered . . .
In the neighboring city of Gainesville, the long-closed case is brought back to life when a park ranger stumbles upon the kidnapper's mass grave site. But after DNA results reveal that her daughter is not among the victims, Carmella's hope is renewed, and she turns to Officer Penelope Chance for help.

When she digs deeper, her investigation takes a terrifying turn for the worse, putting Carmella's life in jeopardy. With the stakes higher than ever, Penelope races to solve the case before she misses her chance.
