    He surfaced two years ago. Then he disappeared ... But Detective Angie Pallorino never forgot the violent rapist who left a distinctive calling card—crosses etched into the flesh of his victim’s foreheads. When a comatose Jane Doe is found in a local cemetery, sexually assaulted, mutilated, and nearly drowned, Angie is struck by the eerie similarities to her earlier unsolved rapes. Could he be back? ​ Then the body of a drowned young woman floats up in the Gorge, also bearing the marks of the serial rapist, and the hunt for a predator becomes a hunt for a killer. Assigned to the joint investigative task force, Angie is more than ready to prove that she has what it takes to break into the all-male homicide division. But her private life collides with her professional ambitions when she’s introduced to her temporary partner, James Maddocks—a man she’d met the night before in an intense, anonymous encounter. Together, Angie and Maddocks agree to put that night behind them. But as their search for the killer intensifies so does their mutual desire. And Angie’s forays into the mind of a monster shake lose some unsettling secrets about her own past . . . How can she fight for the truth when it turns out her whole life is a lie?

    Recomendo a leitura para amantes de mistérios. Assim como In The Barren Ground (a única outra obra da autora que li), o mistério é bem construído e a investigação é inteligente e estruturada. Mas ao contrário do que eu curti muito no outro livro, nesse há uma certa previsibilidade, pequenas pistas na escrita entregam reviravoltas que poderiam ter um impacto maior se o "foreshadow" não tivesse sido óbvio. Um ponto que me incomodou foram as similaridades mas protagonistas. Ambas mulheres teimosas que já se relacionaram com homens casados e que usam/já usaram sexo como escapismo e se recusam a pedir ajuda. Talvez se houvesse uma distinção mais clara entre as vizesdas protagonistas (e até mesmo entre os pov's distintos dentro da própria obra) esse ponto não seria tão relevante, mas acaba dando a sensação de que estou lendo a mesma protagonista em outro contexto.
