Miranda Phillips Walker introduces her gusty FBI agent, Megan McKenna, in this engaging and gripping thriller.
The Killer — With victims wrapped like garbage and thrown down well shafts, he's labeled "The Wishing Well Killer." A Quasimodo type, plagued by a voice in his head.
The Heroine — Tenacious and eager to prove herself, her last case having left her scarred and vulnerable, Megan McKenna's in a race against time before the killer strikes again. Assisting her is a FBI profiler and former lover, alongside a veteran detective. The trio tracks a madman and learns he is someone from Megan's past, someone all too willing to place her in mortal danger.
The Scam — As McKenna and law enforcement throw out a net to catch the maniac, an insidious under-the-table scam in the Maryland State foster care system, is uncovered — a link between her case, unscrupulous lawyers, and the killer.
