Killer Instinct

In the trunk of a car, a young woman lies still, her dark hair concealing the tell-tale marks on her back. Just like the others.

FBI Agent Tori Hunter has spent twenty years running from her past, from the day her twin sister vanished on the Fourth of July. But when an anonymous clipping surfaces about another missing girl, Genevieve, Tori is pulled back to her hometown of Manchester Bay, Minnesota. Genevieve's disappearance mirrors her sister's: gone without a trace, her car abandoned as Independence Day fireworks lit up the sky.

As Tori delves into the case, she faces distraught parents, dismissive local police, and a community simmering with secrets. The prime suspect turns up dead, and another girl is discovered, strangled and marked, in a chillingly familiar way. The evidence points to someone Tori trusts, blurring the lines between ally and enemy.

Now, Tori must confront her deepest fears and unravel the truth, even as her own life hangs in the balance. Can she stop the killer before Genevieve becomes another silenced girl?
