New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart delivers a heart-stopping mystery where Southern Gothic charm meets bone-chilling terror.
Some nightmares don't end when you wake up.
Twenty years ago, a killer stalked the South Carolina coast, slipping through bedroom windows to claim his victims. Young women found dead in their own beds, positioned like sleeping angels-beautiful, peaceful, and forever silent.
When the Silver Sleuths take on the cold case that terrorized Grimm Island, tea shop owner Mabel McCoy expects to find answers buried in the past. Instead, she uncovers a survivor who's been hiding on the island for two decades, living under a different name, watching every shadow.
But this case strikes Sheriff Dash Beckett like a physical blow, awakening ghosts from his own dark past that he's spent years trying to forget. And when someone begins testing Mabel's windows at night, learning her routines, she realizes some predators never die-they just grow hungrier.
Now Mabel must solve a twenty-year-old mystery before she becomes its newest victim. Because on Grimm Island, the most dangerous secrets are the ones that refuse to stay buried. And some killers view patience as just another weapon.
In this pulse-pounding tale of murder and romance, the past and present collide in a deadly dance where love might be the only thing standing between justice and another perfect murder.
