Two perfect homes. Two beautiful women. Two brutal murders. Each victim found with a chilling note in their lifeless hands.
Detective Tanya Stone is certain the killer isn’t a stranger. It’s someone from this exclusive suburb. A neighbour who watched the victims like prey.
And now, her closest friend, Katy, is next.
Katy’s once dream home is a maze of nightmares. Toys move on their own. Family photos vanish. Someone is messing with her mind.
The killer is a master manipulator who knows a mother’s terror is the ultimate weapon. This is a sadistic game of psychological torment.
Tanya races against the clock, chasing a trail of taunting clues to unravel the twisted truth.
But Katy harbours dark secrets of her own. A lie about her childhood she spent decades burying. A betrayal that binds her to the dead women in ways no one else can imagine.
With her K9 dog by her side, Tanya vows to protect Katy and her young daughter at all cost. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes.
The killer is closer than she thought.
And they’re watching her too…
