"A tour de force that has it all." -Annelise Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of A Death in Door County

"You will devour this book." -Barbara Conrey, USA Today bestselling author of Nowhere Near Goodbye and international bestselling author of My Secret to Keep

No one is safe. Not when the Dollmaker lurks in the shadows.

When Dawn Hildegard's best friend Rose is kidnapped by the Dollmaker, a crazed serial killer who creates "art" from women's bodies, she drops everything to find herβ€”including her dream of becoming a doctor. With the help of a handsome new acquaintance and his mysterious brother, they set off to find the killer. Although they quickly become friends, Dawn cannot shake the uneasy feeling that the brothers know more about the murders than they admit.

As more and more victims are found murdered and displayed throughout town, Dawn must use her wits to find Rose before it's too late. And before she, too, becomes the Dollmaker's next victim.
