SHE TRIED TOPUT THE PAST BEHIND HER. BUT NOW THEENEMY HAS RETURNED--WITH A VENGEANCE.

Officer Miranda Rader of the Harmony, Louisiana Police Department is known for her passion and integrity--but that wasn't always so. She was brought up on the wrong side of the tracks, and trouble had a way of following Miranda wherever she'd go. But she worked hard to prove herself and earn the respect of her community. Today, when crisis strikes, everyone knows that Miranda is on the case. The grisly murder of a popular local college professor is no exception.

When Miranda is called to lead the investigation, she makes it her personal business to see that justice is served. But in her search for the truth she makes a chilling discovery: a faded newspaper clipping about a terrible incident from her past--a crime that no one believed had happened, the screams of a girl they believed did not exist. Then another local turns up dead. This time, it's the retired police officer who took Miranda's statement all those years ago. Two killings of two very different men who on the surface have nothing in common but for one woman: Miranda.
