A cold case. A serial killer. A dead girl who won’t let go.
FBI profiler Derek Reed is haunted by a costly mistake—one that left him scarred, tormented by nightmares, and carrying the crushing guilt of a girl’s death.
On forced medical leave, Derek retreats from Arizona to his family in Tennessee, hoping photography will quiet his mind. But when his camera leads him to an abandoned farmhouse, he discovers something far darker than forgotten ruins. Inside a rusted tin box are trophies—four photos of four murdered girls. Victims of a serial killer who began his spree in 1985.
Hunting down a killer from three decades ago is nearly impossible. And without the help of his unit, Derek knows he could easily walk away. But guilt won’t let him. Neither will the shadows of his past. Determined to solve the puzzle, Derek sets out to unmask a murderer—only to find that chasing ghosts awakens his own.
The Box, Book One in the Derek Reed Series, is a gripping forensic thriller with a chilling paranormal edge.
