FBI agent Atlee Pine carries a wound that never healed. Thirty years ago in Andersonville, Georgia, someone took her six-year-old twin sister Mercy and left Atlee for dead. Their parents were downstairs partying. The abductor was never caught. Mercy was never found. Now Atlee has pushed too hard on a dangerous arrest and earned herself a leave of absence. She sees her chance and returns to Andersonville to dig for answers. One name still torments her: Daniel James Tor, the serial killer locked in a Colorado maximum security prison. Does he know what really happened to Mercy that night? Atlee's investigation pulls her into a web of murder and long-buried secrets. The deeper she digs, the more lies surface. Then she uncovers a revelation so personal it destroys everything she believed about that terrible night. Her search for Mercy becomes a fight for the truth about her own past.
