New York Times bestselling author Lisa Black launches a gripping new series featuring Dr. Ellie Carr and Dr. Rachael Davies, who join forces to solve harrowing crimes. When D.C. crime scene analyst Ellie is called to investigate a missing baby, she is stunned to learn that the child’s mother is her cousin, Rebecca. Once close during their childhood, the two have grown apart, with Rebecca now living a privileged life with her wealthy lobbyist husband, Hunter. Their world is shattered when their infant son is abducted. Ellie, initially reluctant, teams up with pathologist Rachael, who is employed by Hunter to assist in the investigation. Rachael, the assistant dean at the esteemed Locard Forensic Institute, adheres to the forensic principle that “every contact leaves a trace.” As they delve deeper, the search for the baby becomes perilous, revealing a tangled web of greed and ambition. What starts as a straightforward ransom case uncovers connections to a lobbying effort aimed at deregulating a billion-dollar gaming industry. Racing against time, Ellie and Rachael must gather evidence before an impending Senate hearing, or face the grim reality that Rebecca’s son—and others—could suffer an unimaginable fate.
