Children run through the streets in their Halloween costumes, giggling happily, not noticing the blood on the house is real. A baby girl is tucked up asleep in her room.

Her mother’s body lies motionless in the front yard, pink petals on the ground beside her…Arriving in the quiet community of Mulberry Creek, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is shocked that amongst the chaos of costumes and fake, silver spider webs, a new mother called Kiania Watson has lost her life. A blooming rare flower placed carefully in her cold, bound hands.

Nikki’s legs go weak: it’s the mark of a serial killer she’s met before. Nine years ago, Nikki fell in pursuit of a masked man who’d killed a young girl at a cabin in rural Minnesota.

Seeing her cradling the bump of her pregnant belly, he’d spared her life. She was told he’d died in a shoot-out days later.

But the pink flower only grows at that cabin: it’s a message to Nikki. Nikki’s team are quick to suspect Kiania’s abusive husband.

But Nikki finds two further, similar murders in other states. Flowers were left in their palms when they died.

Nikki’s heart breaks when she realizes all the victims were mothers to newborn babies. Digging desperately into old case files, Nikki finds blood on a rock she secured nine years ago, which has never been tested.

But not before receiving a desperate call that another woman has just been taken. This twisted killer is playing a deadly game, and Nikki must risk her own life if she has any chance of returning this mother to her child alive…A dark, twisty and heart-racing thriller that will keep you on the edge of your set, reading it in one sitting.
