It was every parent’s worst nightmare: Two days after Christmas, Sam and Joyce Knott’s very reliable daughter, Cara, never made it home. They knew something was wrong, so they spent the entire night searching everywhere for her. They pleaded with the police to help with the search because this was so out of character for her, but all of their cries for help were ignored. 

That is, until her body was discovered.

Now the police would have to investigate a murder, which would lead to the discovery of a serial predator…. One of their own.
