The Past

Detective Paige Stone barely survived her first homicide case. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of a serial killer, she hasn't fully recovered physically or emotionally. Before she has time to come to grips with the lingering memories and the ongoing nightmares, a phone call from a familiar voice sends her flying to California as a consultant. Hollywood buzzes about a celebrity arrested for murder. He maintains his innocence yet offers no exculpatory evidence to help Paige prove his case. Meanwhile, in the land of beaches, palm trees, and paparazzi, a serial killer trolls the seedy side streets, picking off prostitutes—all horrifically bludgeoned, all matching the same physical description. The murder Paige quietly investigates has strange similarities to the serial killer's gruesome patterns, and with time against them, the only way to catch him is to go undercover herself. Paige Stone is no stranger to the twisted minds of criminals. But none of her previous cases has prepared her for the shocking secrets she uncovers about the past... The Past is a gripping thriller that will keep you turning pages in a race to stop a killer!
