This gorgeous hardcover edition includes sprayed edges. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetective Andy Cooper is about to retire. She isn't sure what's next ... perhaps traveling in the RV she has yet to buy, with a dog she doesn't currently own. Perhaps gardening near the ever-shrinking patch of woods behind her house--once the cable company's backhoe is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe'll need to do \u003ci\u003esomething\u003c\/i\u003e, if only to distract herself from how empty her life has become. After the murder of her young daughter by a drunk driver. After the divorce. After the realization that all she has is her job and that she's about to lose that, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything changes when bodies begin to turn up. Murdered, but how? Not by knife, gun, or any obvious weapon. Instead: teeth marks. Chunks missing. Like they'd been chewed on. And not by humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs she's struggling to solve her final case, an unexpected new friendship seems like just what Andy needs. Where she is detached from life, Fiona embraces it. Where she is a homebody, Fiona roams. Yet the women are drawn together by a shared love of nature and wildlife. Until Andy learns the dark truth behind Fiona's smile. A secret that threatens to unravel the world as she knows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoje Stage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798228496903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStage, Zoje:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZoje Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e is both an international and a \u003cem\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author whose books have been named Best of the Year by \u003cem\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eForbes\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePopSugar\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBook Riot\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBloody Disgusting\u003c\/em\u003e, and more.
