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.

A missing heiress. A brutal murder. An FBI agent chasing a truth no one wants brought to light. After a forced leave that nearly cracked her confidence, FBI Special Agent Domini Walker is handed what should be a straightforward assignment: locate Hettie Van Buren, a high-society heiress who vanished during a weekend away. But then Hettie’s boyfriend turns up dead—single shot, no mistakes. The work of a professional. Dom’s search spirals quickly into a far darker mystery. Hettie is still out there: frightened, alone, and orbiting a secret someone’s already killed to protect. The Van Buren family’s wealth can’t keep the past buried, and Hettie and Micah's clandestine trip overseas may hold the truth someone in power is desperate to keep buried. Dom’s not the type to flinch. Not for Bureau optics, not for Manhattan royalty. This case cuts too close, rattling the trauma she’s spent years mastering and testing a moral code forged in loss. With razor-sharp analyst Lea Peck and reclusive researcher Mila Pascale at her side, Dom tracks a trail of blood and lies from penthouse privilege to the streets of Tegucigalpa. But in a world where everyone has something to protect, the deadliest threat may be the one she never sees coming.

They closed the case. She never did. FBI Special Agent Dom Walker has spent years outrunning the disgrace tied to her name. Her father, a decorated NYPD officer, was arrested in a sting and dead by suicide days later. Case closed. Pain shelved. Until a whispered confession suggests it was all a setup. Now Dom is pulled into an off-the-books investigation with everything on the line—her badge, her father’s legacy, and a truth someone has worked hard to erase. The deeper she digs, the darker it gets: a former Internal Affairs chief with too many secrets, a corrupt network buried beneath decades of silence, and a cover-up built to survive scrutiny. Worse still, the rot is spreading—to people she trusts most. Dom isn’t just chasing answers now. She’s fighting to protect her team: unfiltered, unapologetic analyst Lea Peck; brilliant researcher Mila Pascale; close ally Owen Whyte, and her brother, Beecher, suddenly caught in the crosshairs. Some secrets don’t die with the past. Some come for what you love. A dark, emotionally layered FBI thriller for fans of Tana French, Sharon Bolton, and readers who crave sharp characters, broken systems, and justice that cuts deep. ______________________________________________ Praise for the Dom Walker Series: ?  “Dom fights for justice—she never backs down.” ?  “A real woman with real flaws doing impossible work.” ?  “Reads like a movie.

Even though I read it in broad daylight, I was a little spooked and just wanted to hide for a little bit. The narrative is beyond amazing, the characters have so much potential... I loved this book! I really love the way Erik Henry Vick writes. He has a gift for weaving pictures with words and making sure the reader is right there in the story with his characters. The atmosphere is sinister from the very beginning and the tension keeps building until the end. This is a fantastic collection.”--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews? "...a tense dash in the darkness to stay together and survive, filled with sudden violence, enigmatic enemies and strange turns of events...[it] reminded me of Stranger Things where the graphic horror side is really allowed to let rip... I’m constantly awed by the inventiveness of the author to bring larger threats with each novel…[and] the further development of the villainous characters, who are just as integral to the story, and have their own maniacal motivations at play. [T]he dark corners are darker than ever with Vick’s usual flair for the shadowy atmospheres in his sharp narrative voice and excellent choice of lexis."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews?“[F]illed with action and disturbing images and these begin right off the bat. The silence, a falling leaf, or a faint footstep echo something sinister in this gritty tale of horrific deeds. Erik Henry Vick comes across as a master weaver of frightful tales; each page is well-spun with action and the kind of suspense that forces the reader to turn to the next page.
