Synopsis

In this brilliantly chilling follow-up to The Thief of All Light, veteran police officer Bernard Schaffer digs deep into the past—and the haunted psyches of the detectives who search for truth . . . at any cost.

"There's a thousand scavengers in these woods."

Before being promoted to detective, Carrie Santero was given a rare glimpse into the mind of a killer. Through her mentor, Jacob Rein—a seasoned manhunter whose gift for plumbing the depths of madness nearly drove him over the brink—she was able to help capture one of the most depraved serial killers in the country. Now, the discovery of a small human foot buried in the Pennsylvania woods will lead her to a decades-old cold case—and the darkest secrets of her mentor's youth.

"Nobody trusts an animal that tries to eat its own kind."

Thirty years ago, a young girl went missing. A police officer was murdered. Another committed suicide. The lives of everyone involved would never be the same. For three agonizing decades, Jacob Rein has yearned for the truth. But when Detective Carrie Santero begins digging up new evidence, she discovers some answers come with shattering consequences.

In this second book in this series by Bernard Schaffer, Carrie Santero is a full-fledged detective after solving an incredibly vile case.

5 fabulous stars. I loved everything about this book from beginning to end. When the remains of a little girl are found, she is believed to be Hope Pugh who disappeared thirty years ago. This story alternates between when the girl disappeared and the present investigation into her death. The book fl......more

Goodreads review by Tina on August 24, 2019

TL;DR- If you like gritty police procedurals with well developed characters (think Tana French Into the Woods and Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke)- then give this a chance! First of all, I would not recommend this for sensitive readers. Most of the violence happens off the page, but this is a gri......more

This was a great follow up to The Thief Of All Light. They are standalone books but I personally liked reading them in order. You know who the characters are and what happened to them before. This book was very hard to put down! I had a hard time functioning through life for the day and a half it to......more
