From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a gripping FBI thriller that will have Special Agent Brandon Fisher hunting a serial killer whose ritualistic killing methods are rooted deep in the past.

Body parts in a river. Three victims. No names.

When dismembered human remains are recovered from the Little Ogeechee River in Savannah, Georgia, local authorities call in Special Agent Brandon Fisher and his team with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. The remains belong to three separate victims—but without identities, the investigation is at a standstill before it even begins.

As Brandon and his team race to identify the victims, the questions only multiply. Why were these people chosen? Why were their bodies dismembered? And what is the killer trying to accomplish? Then a grisly discovery changes the course of the investigation—a torso painted blue and missing its heart.

Brandon and his team soon realize they’re hunting a killer whose ritual is only beginning to emerge. To stop the killing, they must unearth secrets the Deep South has kept buried for generations.

Perfect for fans of gripping FBI investigations, ritualistic serial killers, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Readers who enjoy Chris Carter, Kendra Elliot, and Robert Dugoni will love this chilling crime thriller.
