Every season in Rockton seems to bring a new challenge. At least that's what Detective Casey Duncan has felt since she decided to call this place home. Between all the secretive residents, the sometimes-hostile settlers outside, and the surrounding wilderness, there's always something to worry about.

While on a much needed camping vacation with her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, Casey hears a baby crying in the woods. The sound leads them to a tragic scene: a woman buried under the snow, murdered, a baby still alive in her arms.

A town that doesn’t let anyone in under the age of eighteen, Rockton must take care of its youngest resident yet while solving another murder and finding out where the baby came from - and whether she's better off where she is.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong again delivers an engaging, tense thriller set in perhaps the most interesting town in all of contemporary crime fiction.

With things relatively quiet in Rockton, Dalton and Casey take a weekend camping trip. While Dalton is hunting, Casey plays with Storm, their dog, when they hear the impossible, a baby crying. When she investigates Casey finds a murdered woman and a baby under the snow. After taking the baby back to Rockton Dalton and Casey now have to try and find the baby’s parents and the person who murdered the woman all of which leads them to interaction with the various groups that live in the forest.

We learn a lot in this book, both about our main characters as well as Rockton and those who left to live in the forest - First Settlement, Second Settlement and, perhaps  more interestingly, the hostiles.  This is a great series. Each book pulls one into the action almost immediately and keeps you turning the page to see what happens next. I am loving this world and these characters and while I am late to finding this series it is wonderful to be able to read these one after the other without a year wait inbetween. Highly recommended ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
