Teancum Leon just wants to get through the next few weeks. Quietly. Without any fuss. That’s why he and his fiancé, Jem Berger, are keeping their wedding low-key. That’s why they’re not inviting anyone. That’s why Tean hasn’t told his family.
But when a woman knocks on their door, Tean’s hopes for peace and quiet go up in smoke. History seems to be repeating itself: Amy Graham is the host of a local true crime podcast, and she claims someone is following her. Worse, Amy’s co-host was a woman named River Jordan—and less than two months before, Tean watched as a pack of killers slaughtered her to keep her from revealing a secret.
Convinced that Amy is now a target for the same reason, Tean and Jem begin their own search for answers. As River’s notes lead them toward the past, though, they discover the killers have plans of their own. And their attention is fixed on a boy who has already escaped them once.
