A cop who survived her own murder, the man determined to stop her from solving it, and a lethal pursuit that can heal the rift between them or put them six feet under.

Left for dead at a university body farm, Seattle PD Captain Grier Callum has no idea how she survived the night someone tried to kill her. But she knows one thing: her attack is connected to a string of murders—and someone inside her own department may be helping the killer.

Missing persons agent Pete Marchum has orders to bring Grier in before she gets herself killed for good. If he succeeds, he could earn a coveted spot on the FBI's serial task force. But Grier isn't about to let anyone stop her from exposing the corruption that nearly cost her life. Especially not the academy partner who knows exactly how to get under her skin.

As bodies pile up and the killer closes in, Grier and Pete are forced into an uneasy alliance. But every clue draws them deeper into a conspiracy neither can escape—and reignites the dangerous attraction they've spent years trying to bury.

To catch a killer, they'll have to trust each other.

Because the next body won't be a random victim.

It will be theirs.

 

Severn is delighting her readers with quite the unexpected twist to bring her Hunting Grounds series to an end! The storyline quickly thrusts the reader back into the story where we left off and lets the danger build as we get more insight into who is behind the serial killer ring. Grier reconnects with her police academy nemesis Pete Marchum who she hasn’t seen in 15 years and is now and FBI agent when he steps in to help locate her during her abduction. Sparks fly as tension builds and they set out together to work through all of the details of every case again to figure out who is pulling the strings. Lots of danger, emotion and intrigue fill this book. It was a great ending to the series!
