When a body is found strung up on the crane of an offshore oil refinery on the Alaskan coast, FBI Special Agent is called in to investigate the suspected work of a serial killer. Against the stormy seas and brutal elements, she soon realizes there’s more to this bleak landscape than meets the eye.
Special Agent Sadie Price, a 29-year-old rising star in the FBI’s BAU unit, stuns her colleagues by requesting reassignment to the FBI’s remote Alaskan field office. Back in her home state, a place she vowed she would never return, Sadie, running from a secret in her recent past and back into her old one, finds herself facing her demons—including her sister’s unsolved murder—while assigned to hunt down a new serial killer.
What seems like a straightforward case quickly embroils Sadie in an international territorial dispute, bringing in multiple agencies and countries and further complicating her investigation.
After a rabbit hole of dead ends, Sadie uses her brilliant mind to think of something no one else has—and another body—and a shocking twist—may just catch her off guard.
But in this stormy wilderness, in the thick of winter, does Sadie have any hope of finding him before it’s too late?
