Saturday morning, a rare day off for Detective Maddie Ives. She’s about to have a relaxing shower with her boyfriend Vince when she gets the call: There’s been another one …

Ron and Sandy Blackman’s brutalised bodies are found in the hallway of their isolated rural home. They’ve been stabbed multiple times; Ron’s hands are tied tightly behind his back; Sandy has several fingernails ripped out. The safe has been forced open. This is the second house of horrors that Maddie and her team have been called out to in a matter of days.

Four days earlier, single mother Maria was also stabbed to death in her own home – with the same murder weapon. Maddie’s partner Vince was first on the scene. He finds Maria’s traumatised daughter trapped under the floorboards – Jade saw everything but can remember nothing. Maddie is convinced these aren’t robberies gone wrong. These two families were specifically targeted – tortured for information. But what secrets was the killer so desperate to find out?

The key to the mystery lies with 11-year-old Jade. Maddie and her team are in a race against time to find out the truth before Jade’s memories come back … and the killer returns to silence her forever.
