She’s walked away from the fight before. This time, the victims can’t afford for her to quit.
Dakota Steele—MMA champ turned FBI profiler—is as fearless in the ring as she is in the field. But her last case left scars even she can’t ignore. Haunted by a sister who vanished without a trace, a father she refuses to forgive, and a killer who got away, Dakota did the unthinkable:
She walked away from the FBI.
Now, back in her rough hometown of South Dakota, Dakota’s barely hanging on. Until a new case pulls her in—a string of victims disappearing along remote desert highways, vanishing without a trace. The local police are baffled. The bodies aren’t turning up. And time is running out.
With the tough love of her partner and the weight of her past pressing down, Dakota must track a killer through a desolate, lawless landscape—and face the darkness she’s tried to bury for good.
Can she stop him before he claims another life?
Or will her own demons finish the job first?
