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, heâs always looked out for his five-year-old brother, Joshua. When his stepfather comes after Joshua, Michael takes the child and runs. Heâs determined to protect his brother at all costs, even if that means making himself vulnerable to a danger he canât 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 Joshuaâs soccer coach, journalist and ex-Army ranger Diesel Kennedy. When Diesel sees that Michael is injured, he takes them to see Dr. Dani Novakânot only because sheâs fluent in American Sign Language, but because heâs drawn to her and everything she stands for. She never refuses Dieselâs requestsâbecause she, too, feels their connectionâbut she resists him for reasons she doesnât want to confess.
When Dani and Diesel learn that Michael saw the face of his stepfatherâs killer, they fear for his safety. But they quickly discover that itâs even worse than they feared: They may have a serial killer on their handsâand all signs point to Michael as the next target.
â[A] pedal-to-the-metal thriller with plenty of developed charactersand converging mysteries. . . . To call this book a page-turneris an understatement.ââUSA Today on Say You're Sorry
âRose writes blistering, high-octane suspense that never lets up.ââNew York Times bestselling author Karen Robards
