When North Dakota's quiet towns become the stage for a harrowing series of murders, FBI Agent Kelsey Hawk must decode a killer's cryptic fascination with maps and history. Uncovering a dark vision of rural revival, Kelsey must race to stop the next death at the intersection of madness and method.
When she was just a child, Kelsey’s entire family was murdered, leaving her, the sole survivor, to grow up in the foster system. A rising star in the FBI, Kelsey set her ambitions on being assigned to a field office in the big city, away from the ghosts of her past. But when she’s reassigned to a small town in North Dakota, she can’t help but remember all the tragedy she fought so hard to leave behind. Can she stop this killer in time?
