When Alex Thompson is pulled over by a squad car in the middle of nowhere, the police officer acts downright bizarre. She's positive something’s not right about the whole situation.
Years later, a mass grave is discovered in that same area, and she knows she came close to being one of the victims. So why did the killer let her go?
Cody Oliver is a small-town detective. His department can’t handle a case this huge. When a mysterious woman, Alex, appears from the past, it stirs something in him. Could a chance encounter a million years ago have been that important? Could a short, random meeting he’d dismissed as soon as it ended be the key to stopping a serial killer?
If Cody and Alex can’t find the killer's laid, discover his connection to Alex, and bring him to justice, the desert will continue to fill up with bodies.

"I blame L.K. Hill for my sleepless nights…I LOVED this book!"—R.K. Grow, Author
U.S.A. Today Best Selling Author L.K. Hill is something of a crime junkie. She loves exploring stories full of epic, psychological clashes between good and evil, the blurry lines between law and justice, and seeing people wade through tragedy and come out transformed on the other side.
Her books include the Street Games series, her award winning stand alone novel, The Botanist, and plans for a whole series of Gabe and Cody mysteries.
She also writes across several other genres. Her historical romance is written under the pen name K.L. Conger. She writes scifi and fantasy, including dystopian, under her full name, Liesel K. Hill.
She comes from a large, tight-knit family and resides in Northern Utah. She loved to read and write at a young age, and her earliest memories consist of her father sitting in the doorway of her room at night, relating stories of Frodo, Gandalf, and the One Ring. Her mother also read to her every afternoon as a child, sometimes for several hours a day.
She plans to keep telling stories until they nail her coffin shut. Or the Second Coming happens. Whichever comes first.
