A brilliant FBI profiler. A killer who’s always one step ahead. And a case that hits too close to home.
Women are turning up dead on the outskirts of rural Virginia—brutally murdered and left behind like broken dolls. The FBI is baffled. The killer is escalating. And there’s only one person with the instincts to stop him: Special Agent Riley Paige.
Still recovering from her last harrowing case, Riley is on leave—physically battered and mentally fragile. But when the murders begin to echo her own darkest fears, she can’t stay away. Drawn into a disturbing subculture of doll collectors and fractured families, Riley is forced to chase the killer into a maze of psychological horror… and into the shadowy corners of her own mind.
As the body count rises and time runs out, Riley must battle not just the monster at large—but the one inside her.
ONCE GONE is the gripping debut of the Riley Paige series—a dark, fast-paced thriller packed with shocking twists, chilling suspense, and a heroine readers can’t stop rooting for.
