Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a fog-shrouded North Carolina mountain road and awakens injured and held by a man who won’t reveal his name. Cut off from help, she must find a way to survive while piecing together what led to her abduction.

As suspicion falls closer to home and investigators close in, Emory’s captivity collides with a group that enforces its own harsh justice. A desperate young woman becomes the center of a volatile moral choice that forces Emory to weigh risk against compassion—and to question who truly intends to protect her.

Sharp, fast-paced and character-driven, the novel mixes suspense, uneasy attraction and ethical ambiguity as secrets unravel and loyalties shift under pressure.
