Description:The tent door flutters in
the warm breeze, opening towards the silent woods beyond. A silk eye
mask lies on top of the empty sleeping bag, blood-red spots ruining the
cream fabric…
When a woman disappears from Forest Pines campsite,
Detective Morgan Brookes scrambles a search party. Sara Fletcher has
never missed a lunch date with her best friend and when Morgan finds a
large rip in Sara’s tent, she knows that something terrible must have
happened. About to lose hope after hours combing through the acres of
dense forest, the excited bark of a tracker dog leads Morgan to female
remains, partially covered by leaves and dirt – but the bones don’t
belong to Sara.
Morgan trawls through missing persons files until
she finds three cold cases with chilling similarities – three other
victims dating back twenty years who were taken from campsites while
they slept, by a killer the police called The Travelling Man. The
post-mortems indicate he kept them alive for 72 hours, meaning every
second is crucial to find Sara alive.
Morgan’s team is terrified
that this twisted murderer has returned. But Morgan also can’t ignore
the fact that a merciless killer from her own past has recently escaped
from prison… Could they be chasing the wrong man? If she’s correct, how
deep will she have to dig to save Sara and other innocent women like her
before time runs out for them all?
