Jane barely survived the man who tried to kill her.
Now, healing in Corvallis, Oregon, with the dog who saved her life and the best friend who's all she has left, she's desperate for quiet. For safety. For something that feels like solid ground.
But when a young woman vanishes from the quiet college town—and R reveals a personal connection to the case—Jane is pulled back into the kind of danger she swore she'd never face again.
Every house she visits as a dog walker carries whispers: a client too secretive, an ominous note waiting at the door, eyes watching from the trees. The deeper she digs, the more twisted the shadows become.
Someone out there is hunting. And every step Jane takes draws her, R, and Fable closer to him.
The killer isn't just close. He answers the door when she knocks.
