FBI Agent Eden Cross is reeling from the devastating truth behind her best friend’s disappearance. Not the ten years since, nor all of Eden’s searching, could have prepared her for the horror of what she discovered, right in her own backyard.
But she can’t afford to let that distract her. As the newest recruit to the elite BAU, the rest of the team is depending on her to pull her weight.
Because serial killers don’t wait around for anyone…
Ten years ago, her best friend vanished. Now, she’s back to uncover the truth—and a killer is watching.
For FBI Special Agent Eden Cross, returning to Adamstown isn’t a homecoming—it’s a reckoning. Still haunted by the night Morgan Anderson disappeared without a trace, Eden has spent too many days chasing ghosts.
But now, human remains have surfaced in the abandoned Raven’s Lake Mine, and Eden is done waiting for answers.
Lurking in the shadows is a predator known as The Collector—meticulous, patient, and always watching. For years, he has hunted in silence, choosing his victims carefully. And now, Eden’s search has put her in his sights.
As she follows the trail of a killer who has remained hidden for too long, the past begins to unravel in ways she never expected. But in a town where everyone has secrets, the truth is more terrifying than she ever imagined—and someone will do anything to keep it buried.
What happens when Social Media turns deadly?
It’s barely been a month since the dramatic standoff that pushed Eden Cross to her limits, but she hasn’t had time to draw breath, let alone grieve her losses. As the newest addition to the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit she must navigate the complexities of joining an established, tight-knit team. But her personal demons are never far behind, and the emotional scars from the Adamstown murders still cut deep.
When a brutal serial killer begins targeting social media influencers in New York City, she’s thrust face to face with evil once again. The killer’s signature is as chilling as it is plain: the victims’s lips have been sewn shut and the hashtag #shutup carved into their flesh. As the killer shows no signs of stopping, Eden’s relentless drive for the truth will put her at odds with her new boss and colleagues.
With pressure mounting and the body count rising, Eden and the team must reveal a killer who uses the power of social media to select the victims and broadcast their message. But the closer they get, the more the investigation threatens not just their fragile bonds, but also their lives.
In a race against time, can they stop the killer before the next victim is silenced forever?
