A woman cop.

A haunting memory....

The only female detective in the Miami PD's Homicide division, Joe Frye

has memories that haunt her, and a past that not even her lover, detective

Louis Kincaid, truly knows. It began when Joe was an ambitious rookie cop in

a small Michigan town called Echo Bay....

The bones found in the woods were the first clue in a string of unimaginably

brutal murders of young women. Plunged into a heated investigation -- and

caught between the dictates of a reluctant local sheriff and the state

police -- Joe soon uncovers the chilling truth: In the dead of winter in the

Michigan woods, she must face down a predator who has chosen her as a

worthy opponent -- or become his next victim.
