From bestselling author Mike Omer comes the first in a new series full of the psychological twists and police procedural turns that his fans have come to know and love. Lieutenant Abby Mullen is no stranger to crisis. As the hostage negotiation instructor for the NYPD, she deals with worst-case scenarios every day. Nothing fazes her anymore. That all changes when she gets a call from Eden Fletcher, a fellow survivor of the infamous Wilcox cult. The two haven't spoken since the night of a tragic, fiery massacre, when their paths diverged. But now Eden needs Abby's help: someone has kidnapped her son and is demanding a $5 million ransom. As Abby throws herself into the case, she can't help but wonder why the kidnapper has targeted Eden. But Eden refuses to talk. She's silent about the relics of their shared past hanging on her walls. About the kidnapper's possible motives. About what's happened in the years since she and Abby parted ways. As the truth closes in, Abby realizes that her past may not be as far behind as she thought...and it's come home to collect.

About the Author
Mike Omer has been a journalist, a game developer, and the CEO of Loadingames, but he can currently be found penning his next thriller. Omer loves to write about two things: real people who could be the perpetrators or victims of crimes-and funny stuff. He mixes these two loves quite passionately into his suspenseful and often-macabre mysteries. Omer is married to a woman who diligently forces him to live his dream, and he is father to an angel, a pixie, and a gremlin. He has two voracious hounds that wag their tails quite menacingly at anyone who dares approach his home.
