A wind chime sways a sweet melody above several pairs of shoes neatly laid out on the welcome the mat: two large pairs, and three small. On the door frame, a perfect crimson handprint, the color of blood... Out on her morning run, Detective Katie Scott is stopped in her tracks when her service dog, Cisco, alerts her to something. Weaving through the towering pine trees, Katie is horrified to find a little girl alone in the woods, dressed in a white nightgown. The child sobs into Katie's arms. She's unharmed, but clearly traumatized. Scooping her up, Katie follows the trail to a large farmhouse. But what she finds there rips the air from her lungs: one, two, three, four bodies laid out side by side, all in matching pajamas. The Banks family were attacked in their sleep, but how had the little girl trembling in Katie's arms escape with her life? What twisted monster would do such a thing, and why leave no trace but a single bloody handprint on the doorframe? Katie vows to find answers for this sweet child who has lost everything and everyone. Working night and day to piece together why this innocent family were targeted, Katie thinks she has her first lead when she discovers the family were under witness protection. Had they seen something they shouldn't? Was the aim to silence them forever? Questions are still spinning in Katie's mind when another family is discovered dead in their beds on the other side of Pine Valley. With the entire department stretched to breaking point with an unprecedented body count and trace evidence stacking up, it's going to take everything Katie has to track this twisted killer down. But as she closes-in on her target, it's clear someone close to Katie is keeping a deadly secret. How many more innocent lives will be lost before she can bring them to justice?
