"Sheriff Archer Tobias has watched the Callahan family struggle to find peace and acceptance in the community-despite the murders that continue to haunt them. But his darkest suspicions grow worse when Anna Corbin, a member of one of the country's most influential families, becomes the next target ... Anna knows she's in danger. She knows she's on a trail of secrets and lies that could lead to a dead end. But no matter what, she's determined to learn the identity of the killer-even if it's someone she loves ... Torn between duty and desire, Sheriff Tobias cannot allow Anna to put herself in the path of a deranged murderer. But as the investigation pulls them closer together-and deeper into the nightmare-he realizes that he cannot save her from this legacy of blood and vengeance ... without putting his own life on the line."--Page 4 of cover.
