The notorious psychopath Andrew Carlisle, responsible for the heinous torture and murder of a young Tohono O'odham girl, served a mere six-year sentence for his crimes.

Now, haunted by ominous signs and unshakeable intuition, Diana is convinced that the merciless hunter has returned to roam the vast expanse of the Arizona desert.

Despite her desperate attempts to conceal herself and her young son, Diana knows that Carlisle is relentless in his pursuit. Each passing hour brings him closer to their hiding place, leaving her with a bone-chilling sense of dread that they may never truly escape his grasp.

Jance, who deftly weaves a web of intrigue and suspense that keeps them on the edge of their seats until the final, spine-tingling conclusion.
