Samantha Dark once read killers like open books. The FBI trusted her instincts until the man she loved turned out to be the monster she was chasing. Disgraced and broken, she vanished into small-town Alabama, trading nightmares for quiet anonymity.
But when a new string of murders bears the same chilling signature, Samantha knows the past has found her. To stop the copycat or the original, she must reenter the hunt with Blake Gamble, her ex-partner and the only man who still believes in her.
As old wounds reopen and the killer closes in, Samantha’s greatest challenge is not just catching a murderer. It is surviving the truth about herself.
From New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden, After the Dark launches the pulse-pounding Killer Instinct series.
