After all, where better to start tracking down the person who wrote the letters than in her own hometown? Except, when she arrives, she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation.

And as the secrets surrounding the girl's death begin to unravel, Emily finds herself in the crosshairs of a dangerous killer-one who has operated unchecked for over twenty years. Will she be able to find out who buried a body in the walls of her old home before anyone else goes missing? Or will the killer catch up with her first? It all comes back to The Girl in the Wall.

And in the middle of it, a body that seems to have no answers. As Emily and Agent Coll examine what on the surface looks to be a random killing, they soon find dark desires are driving their killer. And when a second body is found, Emily realizes nothing about this case is by chance. But when she discovers a new revelation about her husband, Emily will find herself ripped between her duty to her job and her duty to the man she still loves.
