SOME SECRETS WILL NOT DIE

For three agonizing decades, seasoned manhunter Jacob Rein has been consumed by one case-a missing girl never found and two cops dead, one murdered, the other a suicide.

Rein's protégé, Detective Carrie Santero, shares an equal fascination with the twisted patterns of murder. But when the discovery of a small human foot unearthed in the Pennsylvania woods leads her to a decades-old cold case, she is not prepared for the secrets she will unravel-and their connection to her mentor's dark and buried past . . .
