Description

In this thrilling and seductive novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown, a rebellious detective and a driven television producer must race against time to stop another young woman from vanishing before the next blood moon—with their resolve tested by a growing attraction.

Detective John Bowie is a step away from losing his badge at the Auclair Police Department in coastal Louisiana. Recently divorced and struggling with alcohol, Bowie is haunted by the investigation of teenager Crissy Mellin, whose disappearance more than three years earlier remains tragically unsolved. Now, the popular true-crime TV show Crisis Point is about to revisit Mellin’s case, and Bowie’s corrupt superior orders him to keep silent about mistakes made during the original investigation.

Beth Collins, an accomplished senior producer for Crisis Point, recognizes a compelling story and senses a bigger pattern behind Crissy’s disappearance. After seven years of working in true crime television, Beth is convinced Mellin’s case isn’t isolated, noticing several similar cases of teenage girls disappearing from nearby towns, all during nights marked by a blood moon. Determined to uncover the truth, Beth approaches Detective Bowie for help, and together they must track down a murderer before the next blood moon—just four nights away.

With their careers and very lives at risk, Bowie and Collins join forces to solve the mystery and bring justice to past victims. But as danger grows and their investigation heats up, the undeniable attraction between them threatens to jeopardize everything they’ve worked for.
