A beautiful woman stands by the side of the road, barefoot and bleeding, a child in her arms. Someone just tried to kill her, but she wouldn’t recognize him if she saw his face. She doesn’t even remember her own name.
A suburban cop surveys a kitchen in disarray–a woman and child missing, a chilling note. This crime scene is unlike any he has ever seen.
The man who calls himself Gideon waits and plans. He sees himself as a destroyer of evil, one who rids the world of abominations. He has already killed five. He will kill again.
And somewhere in the wilderness, in a secret geocache near where the wild swans gather, lies the unspeakable clue that links them all together.
Michigan’s rugged and beautiful Upper Peninsula is the setting for this absorbing tale of love and loss, beauty and terror, grievous sins and second chances. A deftly woven thriller from the bestselling author of the Rock Harbor novels.

Summary
Heart stopping opening as a woman and her child are on the side of the road and scared but she is not sure of whom. She finds herself in Rock Harbor where Bree takes her in. You may remember Bree and Samson from the original Rock Harbor series.
Gideon is a creepy, crazy villain who has justified his need to kill, and kill again. I will not spoil any of it for you and will let you find out the rest of his craziness as you read the story.
Nick is a detective working a murder case. This one even more frightening when he realizes his wife and child are missing. Colleen creates complicated characters. Nick and his wife are divorcing because he was too dedicated to his job. He has always loved them and he is a wreck with them missing and presumed dead at the hands of a crazy serial killer.
Coble sprinkles in one surprise after another.
This is a very good mystery. My only complaint was that I could not like Eve. She was just too whiny and stupid. Very disappointed in her character.
Sex - kissing, Nick and Eve were married before
Violence - he is a serial killer, he mutilates the bodies,
