New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose returns with a new thriller in her chilling Cincinnati series.

Michael Rowland is not your typical teenager. Deaf from birth, he&;s always looked out for his five-year-old brother, Joshua. When his stepfather comes after Joshua, Michael takes the child and runs. He&;s determined to protect his brother at all costs, even if that means making himself vulnerable to a danger he can&;t hear coming. And the danger intensifies when Michael witnesses a stranger kill his stepfather.

Desperate and afraid, the boys have nowhere else to go but to Joshua&;s soccer coach, journalist and ex-Army ranger Diesel Kennedy. When Diesel sees that Michael is injured, he takes them to see Dr. Dani Novak&;not only because she&;s fluent in American Sign Language, but because he&;s drawn to her and everything she stands for. She never refuses Diesel&;s requests&;because she, too, feels their connection&;but she resists him for reasons she doesn&;t want to confess.

When Dani and Diesel learn that Michael saw the face of his stepfather&;s killer, they fear for his safety. But they quickly discover that it&;s even worse than they feared: They may have a serial killer on their hands&;and all signs point to Michael as the next target.
