Multiple strange deaths. A smart killer. And a homicide investigator charged with tackling the case in this tense thriller.

When a modern home in High Peaks burns to the ground killing the family, it appears as if the tragic deaths were an accident. But a gut instinct tells Noah Sutherland otherwise. Days later, a family at another residence is found dead under bizarre circumstances. A coincidence, or are the two related?

As the calculating stalker dubbed The Smart Killer stays in the shadows and continues slaughtering ordinary families in their homes, the investigation shakes the small Adirondack town to the core. Once a picturesque northern getaway in Upstate New York, the county is now a gruesome scene of mass murder.

After an anonymous message is left for Hugh Sutherland, suggesting the killer might target him, the case becomes personal, and Noah must bring the murderer to justice. As Sutherland and his team struggle with zero clues and more victims dying, Noah believes the key to ending the murders may lie in secrets that some would like to keep buried.

With the killer watching, can Noah find the evidence to stop him, or will his father become the next victim?
