It's been three years since the Coastal Killer has claimed a victim.
Lenore Calder threw herself into her work three years ago as a historian at Briarport's local museum and never looked back. Aside from her day-to-day tasks, she uses her resources to continue her research on the infamous Coastal Killer, hopeful that one day the victims will see justice. When the cold case draws an FBI agent to town, Lenore can't pass on the opportunity to see this project through to the end.
Agent Winston Beck has dedicated himself to the FBI and bringing killers to justice, until everything goes wrong. One mistake, and his world comes crumbling around him. When a cold case has new leads, he takes a temporary leave from Quantico to follow the trail of a killer no one has seen in years, seeking justice and redemption.
Forced to accept each other's help, Lenore and Agent Beck cannot ignore the tension that grows each day. Tracking down a killer that seemingly left almost no trace, the two find themselves falling for each other. Will they be able to put feelings aside to catch the killer before the trail goes cold once and for all?
