FBI Special Agent Jackson Brooks thought he could leave the darkness behind. After walking away from the Violent Crimes Against Children task force, he retreated to Florence, Alabama, hoping for peace. But when two people are executed at a local restaurant, Jackson is pulled back into a world he thought he’d escaped.

FBI Special Agent Willow Banks has one last chance to make things right. Haunted by her partner’s death, she’s determined to save the K9 her late partner left behind—an unruly dog the Bureau has given up on. Sent to Jackson for help evaluating the animal, Willow’s visit takes an unexpected turn when the quiet Alabama town erupts in violence.

 

With a corrupt police force eager to pin the murders on a homeless man, Jackson and Willow must confront their demons and trust each other to uncover the truth. Because in Florence, the real monsters aren’t always hiding in the shadows—they’re standing in plain sight.
