    The time has come for a serial killer to strike—and they're aiming for the Black Horse Campground—in the series from the author of At the Crossroad. 
 
 
  
With the campground already a crime-scene curiosity, Corrie takes a weekend break from the business just as J. D. Wilder makes his return to the village of Bonney from his home turf of Houston. With Corrie on vacation, he turns his attention to the cold cases they thought were long solved. Something isn't adding up.

And with a fourth grave already dug, he's convinced that the real serial killer is still at large. A deep dive into Corrie's and her friends' pasts uncovers clues that point to a horrifying possibility: the danger isn't coming from outside of Bonney, but straight from inside its dark and twisted heart . . .
