The cure is to kill... For more than thirteen years, Special Agent Winter Black has believed her little brother was deadâkidnapped and murdered by The Preacher, the same lunatic who killed her parents. A lead into Justinâs whereabouts brings her out of her hiatus to chase it, but other cases need her attention too.
At the FBI, tensions are high when a body is dug up, encased in a fifty-five-gallon drum. The team soon realizes they arenât hunting the typical serial killer, but a skilled surgeon. One who experiments on atypical brainsâbrains just like her new friendâs; brains just like her ownâthen disposes of their patients like they would a defective organ.
In the mix, Winterâs childhood psychiatrist surfacesâthe only medical professional who knows about her abilities, or so she thinks.
Could the murders be connected?
Time is running out, because now, the killer is after Winterâs friend. And after her.
Book four of Mary Stoneâs throat-clutching Winter Black Series, Winterâs Rise proves that evil doesnât just hide in the dark.
