A grisly murder scene of a middle-aged housewife with no apparent enemies introduces homicide detectives Gina Harwood and Morgan Snyder into a dark world they didn't expect to find. They discover that the ropes that bind a family together stretch across states and into the blackest recesses of what was, what is... and what could be. Can they save the family before the ropes fray completely? Or do they stand to lose more than just their lives? Book One of the Gina Harwood series.
