A missing boy. A brilliant sister who never gave up. A case Dom can’t ignore. FBI Special Agent Dom Walker has worked cold cases before. But when Mila Pascale—the reclusive, razor-sharp researcher—uncovers a new lead in her brother’s seven-year disappearance, this one hits different. Officially, the trail went cold. Mila never stopped chasing it. Now, with analyst Lea Peck—sharp-tongued and sharper-minded—and forensic accountant and unshakable ally Owen Whyte by their side, Dom and Mila follow the thread west to the windswept silence of Wyoming’s open range. What they uncover isn’t just a forgotten case. It’s the edge of something far worse: a suspected trafficking ring hiding in plain sight, protected by silence, and buried beneath years of institutional failure. Some cases stay cold for a reason. This one won’t stay buried. A gritty, emotionally gripping FBI thriller for fans of Tana French, Sharon Bolton, and readers who know some wounds never fade. __________________________________ Praise for the Dom Walker Series: ?  “Dom fights for justice—she never backs down.” ?  “Reads like a movie.
