A Southwest Psychological Thriller of Stalking, Revenge, and Desert Survival

Six years ago, Diana Ladd’s life was shattered when her husband was brutally murdered by Andrew Carlisle, a sadistic sociopath who hid his dark obsession with ancient Native American lore behind a mask of respected community teacher. Now, Carlisle has been released from prison, his mind twisted by time behind bars and a fanatical desire to complete the deadly ritual he started years ago.

Settling in the scorching Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona, Diana thinks she and her young son, Lito, are safe. But Carlisle is already watching from the shadows, systematically cutting off her ties to the outside world. To save her child from a calculating predator who knows no mercy, Diana must draw on her deepest inner strength and fight back against a murderer determined to destroy her family.
