A woman confronts the ghosts of her past and exposes the terrifying truth about a serial killer in this work of romantic suspense, the first of the Truth trilogy. Twenty-six years ago, the Bayside Strangler killed several women and sent mocking notes to the police. Now, a series of murders and similar notes suggest that either a copycat is at work or that the Bayside Strangler has returned both to the small town of Bowers Inlet and to his old habits. Investigating the case is homicide detective Cassandra "Cassie" Burke, who is still haunted by childhood memories of the murder of her parents and little sister.
Twenty-six years after her family was slaughtered and she narrowly escaped a massacre perpetrated by a transient, Cassie Burke, now a homicide detective, is confronted by a bizarre series of killings resembling the long ago crimes of the Bayside Strangler and joins forces with FBI agent Rick Cisco to uncover the link between these horrific crimes, in the first volume of a new trilogy. Original.

"Multifaceted relationships and connections always play pivotal roles in unlocking the secrets of this remarkable author's thrillers. As this book proves, Stewart is one impressive storyteller."

Review 2:
"[T]he author's flair for complex characterization makes both of the book's profession-turned-personal relationships at least as intriguing and enjoyable as its subtle suspense."
