How do you shine a light on a killer who thrives in darkness?
Deep in Washington State’s Hoh Rainforest, two young women are found dead, each clutching a sprig of hemlock in her lifeless hands. The scenes suggest a chilling, ritualistic obsession.
As Special Agent Claire Anderson and FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D. dig into the case, an early breakthrough hints at a motive too twisted to believe. But public pressure mounts as the media turns the Hemlock Killer into a nationwide sensation, fueled by damning leaks from inside Claire’s own investigation.
Who is leaking the details? And why?
With the killer always one step ahead and FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D. fracturing under the strain, Claire must tread carefully. But each new discovery pulls her deeper into a darkness that feels endless.
Can her team stop the Hemlock Killer before another victim is claimed? Or will the darkness consume them all—including FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D. itself?
