From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. When social worker Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, she discovers a shocking, twisted mystery plotted by a high-ranking social worker in the DCFS.
 

 
When Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, before she realizes her mistake, she discovers a secret no one was supposed to find.
 
She takes the file to the newly appointed chief of police, Mark Friessen, but he doesn’t believe her—that is, until they discover dozens more files and missing money from vulnerable at-risk children who have aged out of the system and are living on the streets.
 
As she digs into the files, the system, and the people involved, everything falls apart.
 
And what Mark and Billy Jo discover is a secret far more shocking than missing money.

    In the year 2041, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to Planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads them to breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument they encounter an extraordinary life-force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease. Coping with horrifically monstrous changes in this individual’s physiology causes this crewmember to become mentally deranged, and in this altered state this person is no longer recognized as human, but seen as something entirely different. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the Red Planet.Special thanks goes to NASA for providing the satellite photos of the Mars surface used in this title.
