Forensic artist Gwen Marcey is between jobs when she accepts
temporary work in Pikeville, Kentucky—a small town facing big-city
crime. But before Gwen can finish her first drawing of the serial rapist
who is on the loose, the latest witness vanishes. Just like all the
others.
Gwen suspects a connection between the rapist and the
“accidental” deaths that are happening around town, but the local
sheriff has little interest in her theories. When her digitally-obsessed
teenage daughter joins her, Gwen turns her attention to a second
assignment: going undercover in a serpent-handling church. She could get
a handsome reward for uncovering illegal activity—a reward she
desperately needs, as it seems her breast cancer has returned. But
snakes aren’t the only ones ready to kill. Can Gwen uncover the
truth—and convince anyone to believe her—before she becomes a victim
herself?
