Tant qu’ils n’auront pas arrêté le meurtrier, personne ne sera en sécurité.

Lorsque le shérif Bree Taggert découvre le corps d’une jeune femme dans la rivière, tous les indices l’orientent vers un suicide, surtout le mot retrouvé dans le véhicule de la victime. Or, l’autopsie révèle qu’Holly Thorpe était morte bien avant de tomber du pont.

Dans leur enquête, Bree et son collaborateur Matt Flynn sont confrontés à la vie personnelle secrète et compliquée d’Holly. Entre son mariage explosif, sa relation compliquée avec sa sœur et sa liaison très peu discrète avec son employeur, nombreux sont ceux qui avaient une bonne raison de se débarrasser d’elle.

Tandis que le shérif avance dans son enquête, un canular macabre vise la sœur d’Holly et le suspect principal de l’affaire est retrouvé mort. C’est le moment que choisit le meurtrier pour s’en prendre à un de leurs proches, lançant Bree et Matt dans une course effrénée pour l’arrêter avant qu’il ne fasse une nouvelle victime.

Le plus grand des dangers, c’est d’en avoir trop vu.

Le nouveau shérif Bree Taggert répond à un appel d'urgence en provenance d’un camping fermé pour l'hiver. C’est une fusillade. Pourtant, une fois arrivée sur place, la situation est déconcertante : pas de tireur, pas de victime, pas de sang. Bree est la seule à croire l'unique témoin, Alyssa, qui dit avoir vu son amie se faire tirer dessus.

Elle fait appel à son ancien adjoint, Matt Flynn, et à son acolyte canin pour suivre la trace du tueur et secourir l'amie d'Alyssa. Tous deux découvrent alors le corps d'un étudiant disparu sous la surface gelée de Grey Lake… mais ce n'est pas la victime qu'ils cherchaient.

Peu après, deux autres étudiants disparaissent et les cadavres s'accumulent. Bree doit à tout prix comprendre ce qui relie ces meurtres. Une seule chose est certaine : pour torturer ainsi ses victimes, le tueur doit être habité d’une rage intense. Lorsque Alyssa est kidnappée à son tour, Bree se lance dans une course contre la montre pour la retrouver avant qu'il ne soit trop tard…

Le meurtre de sa sœur réveille les traumatismes d’enfance d’une inspectrice de la brigade criminelle.

Pendant plus de vingt-cinq ans, Bree Taggert, inspectrice à la brigade criminelle de Philadelphie, a refoulé l’histoire cauchemardesque du meurtre de sa mère suivi du suicide de son père. Mais le passé ressurgit le jour où sa sœur cadette, Erin, est assassinée de façon étrangement similaire : son mariage explosif se termine par des coups de feu, sous les yeux de témoins innocents. La seule différence ? Justin, le mari d’Erin, a disparu.

Bree connaît bien les histoires de violences conjugales, et les indices accusant son beau-frère ne lui semblent pas convaincants. Aidée de Matt Flynn, vieil ami de Justin et ancien shérif de la brigade canine, elle plonge dans les secrets de sa sœur afin de retrouver son assassin. Mais à mesure que l'enquête progresse, le danger se rapproche. À nouveau, Bree doit faire face à la mort. Mais cette fois, elle risque de ne pas s'en sortir.
