HER FATHER HUNTED MONSTERS. NOW ONE IS WAITING FOR HER.



Quantico, Virginia. 1990.



Alexandra (Alex) Monroe is an FBI trainee whose father was a famous FBI profiler from the late 70s and early 80s. But during a forensics exercise in the FBI’s cold case archive, Alex stumbles on a file bearing her father’s name: three missing women from Midland State Psychiatric Hospital in Chicago, 1976. No bodies. No answers.

Buried in the interviews is a detail that makes her blood run cold, a thread that ties the case to something far too close to home. And when Alex is chosen to accompany an agent into live inmate interviews, she’s given a chance her father never had: Look the monster in the eye, and find out what really happened. With the past closing in and new evidence emerging from the DNA lab, Alex must decide who to trust, what to believe, and how far she’s willing to go to finish the work that shattered her family.

Because the truth about her father’s case isn’t just buried in the files. It’s been waiting for his daughter.
