Publisher's summary

Fifteen years ago, Hector Lewis’ wife and young daughter vanished without a trace. People have long thought he was responsible, but the man he knows is behind their disappearance still walks free. As a police officer, he is sworn to uphold the law. But he has seen how little justice there is in the world. And when a newcomer’s arrival sparks a harrowing series of crimes, Hector finds himself in a race to catch a man he is convinced is a killer.

Evelyn Hutto knows what it is to be prey. She moved west to start over. But the remote town of Raven’s Gap, Montana, is not as quiet and picturesque as it appears. The wild borderlands of Yellowstone National Park are home to more than one kind of predator. Women are going missing, and Evelyn’s position at the local museum unearths a collection of Native American art steeped in secrets. As she traces the threads of the past and the present, she finds them tied to one man.

Hector is a man obsessed with finding answers. Evelyn is a woman with secrets of her own. As winter whittles the land to bone and ice, the body count rises, and both become locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a dangerous man - a man who is as cunning as he is charismatic, a man whose new hunting season is only just beginning.

This story is very well written and the developments add an increasing tension with the extreme brutality of crimes. Written in a three POV angle we have Hector, Evelyn and Jeff.

I especially love books when they include the villain/killer as one of the narrators. I love to see how the authors create them and their personalities. I mostly enjoy listening to audiobooks with the villain/killers having a voice be the narrator. There's just something about their creepy and disturbing tone coming through the headphones/speakers.

This story was very informational and I really enjoyed how all the characters quoted something before each of their turns. There were many cool quotes throughout this book and the statistics on Native American woman were staggering. I admire Holloway for raising the awareness of, to quote her words, “the horror Indigenous women face on a daily basis” not only in her author’s note but also within this fictional story. The high numbers of Native women who go missing and are never accounted for by the justice system. Holloway handles this haunting subject with a deft, sensitive hand. Her writing style is vivid, visceral, and highly visual.

I highly recommend you give this mysterious read a chance.
