From the author of the global bestseller "The Last Move". CAPTURE A KILLER TO BECOME A PROFILER. FBI Special Agent Macy Crowe's dream is to earn a place on an elite team of profilers. And now it has almost come true... ONLY THE LAST TEST REMAINS. As an “exam”, she is offered to solve the murder of Toby Turner, a high school student who disappeared fifteen years ago. Her bones were recently discovered in Deep Run, a small town where Macy's old acquaintance, Michael Nevada, had settled as sheriff. A RED ROPE WAS FOUND NEAR THE BONES. The killer apparently used it to tie the victim before his death. Macy realizes that she has found the right trail. And not old, but completely fresh: the police found exactly the same red rope, only new, in the car of a girl... WHO DISAPPEARED JUST A FEW DAYS AGO...
