A divorced family councilor relocates to Key West to investigate her sisterâs disappearance in this thriller by a New York Timesâbestselling author.
âIâm in trouble, Liz. Iâve uncovered something . . . Theyâre watching . . .â
That panicked message on her answering machine is the last time Liz Ames hears from her sister Rachel, pastor of Paradise Christian Church in Key West, Florida.
Compelled to uncover the truth about her sisterâs disappearance, she heads to Key West. Within hours of her arrival a successful banker jumps to his death. Then a teenage girl whom Rachel was counseling is found brutally murdered. The ritualistic style of the killing is hauntingly similar to that used by the notorious âNew Testamentâ serial killerânow on death row.
Could the teenâs murder be related to Rachelâs disappearance? Is a copycat killer at work? And why do the police refuse to help?
For answers, Liz turns to Rick Wells, a former Miami cop who worked the fringes of the âNew Testamentâ investigation. Together they peel away layers of deception to reveal a terrifying adversaryâand the unspeakable evil at the heart of this island paradise.
