When Traci Beller was thirteen, her father vanished from the sleepy town of Rancha, just outside Los Angeles. Ten years later, she's a high-profile influencer with millions of followers and the resources to find answers. The official story says Tommy Beller abandoned his family, but Traci has never believed it—not for a second.
Elvis Cole takes on what seems like another missing persons case, but this one has teeth. In Rancha, he connects with an ex-con named Sadie Givens and her daughter Anya, who might hold the key to Tommy Beller's disappearance. But what begins as a straightforward investigation quickly spirals into something far more sinister when Elvis finds himself stalked by vicious criminals.
When the case turns deadly, Elvis calls his most trusted ally—former Marine Joe Pike. Together, they follow Tommy Beller's trail into a darkness they never expected. What they discover is a monstrous, hidden evil that flips the entire case on its head. Victims become predators, predators become prey, and the body count keeps rising.
