Detective Jude Fontaine spent three years locked in an underground cell. Her only lifeline was studying the face of her sadistic captor every twitch, every glance, every flicker of thought. It was the skill that kept her alive.
Now free, Jude returns to Homicide with scars no one can see and an uncanny ability to read the living and the dead. Her colleagues doubt her sanity. Her new partner, Uriah Ashby, carries secrets of his own and doesn’t want her on the case.
But a brutal killer is targeting young women, and time is running out. To stop him, Jude must trust the instincts forged in captivity and prove that the madness which almost broke her may be the very thing that saves lives.
