There's no clue to who she is, save for a mystifying tattoo on her arm, and a callus underneath her chin. She's not from around here. No one knows who she is. <p/>As Natalie retraces the young woman's steps leading up to her death, she uncovers a deeper, darker horror--a string of murders and disappearances, seemingly unconnected, that may have ties to each other--and explain the abrupt disappearance of her best friend years ago. <p/>As she digs deeper within the mind of the hunter, Natalie finds a darkness she could never have imagined. And as she draws closer to the truth, the killer is weaving a trap for her that may prove inescapable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Jodi Picoult's fans will be an apt audience for Blanchard's chilling latest. - <i>Booklist<br></i><br>For fans of Erica Spindler. - <i>Library Journal</i> <p/><b>Praise for </b><i>Trace of Evil</i><b>: </b> <p/>"Readers will welcome a return to Burning Lake with Natalie at the helm."--<i>Associated Press</i> <p/>"Lockhart is a relatable new heroine on the police-procedural scene, and one who will appeal to readers of Tana French.--<i>Booklist</i> <p/>A fast-paced, intricate, and atmospheric mystery that introduces a plucky, engaging detective. - <i>Kirkus Review</i> <p/>Flush with red herrings, Wiccan symbols, and disaffected teens, this book will appeal to fans of criminal investigations led by empowered women. - <i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>What seems an open-and-shut case becomes much more, with Blanchard carefully peeling away layers of history and deception before pulling off a shocking twist.
