Edgar Award finalist and international bestselling author Brian Freeman brings the long-awaited return of Lieutenant Jonathan Stride to the bitter cold of Duluth, Minnesota.
Sixteen-year-old Catalina Mateo shows up unannounced one night in Detective Jonathan Strideâs home, dripping wet from a desperate plunge into the icy waters of Lake Superior. Her sodden clothes stained with blood, Cat spins a tale of a narrow escape from a shadowy pursuer.
Stride decides to trust this girl, but his judgment may be clouded by memories of Catâs mother. Ten years earlier, Cat hid under the porch of her family home while her mother was brutally butchered by her ex-con father. Stride still blames himself for not preventing the slaughter.
But is Cat telling the truth? Strideâs police partner, Maggie Bei, doubts the homeless girl, who has been living rough on the streets of Duluth since her motherâs deathâand now sleeps with a knife hidden under her pillow.
As Stride investigates Catâs story, more violence trails in the teenagerâs wakeâand Maggieâs suspicions about her deepen. Now a single question haunts the void between them: Should Stride be afraid forâor ofâthis terribly damaged girl?
