About this listen
For a brilliant forensic linguist, crimes of the past hold clues to new series of murders in a twisting novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of A Familiar Sight.
The double murder of a married couple in a small Washington town draws FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto into an investigation that mirrors a decades-old crime. Twenty-five years ago—to the day—Alex Parker murdered his parents, then took his own life, leaving behind a note admitting everything.
Raisa, paired with forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny, uses her skills to read between the lines. Especially now that paranoid postings on a conspiracy thread suggest that Alex was a victim himself—theories that have piqued the interest of a perceptive content moderator and a true-crime podcaster eager for a big break.
As old and new crimes converge, messages from the living and the confessions of the dead take on new meaning for Raisa. Something more sinister than a copycat crime is at play, and plundering the darkest corners of a killer’s mind leaves her vulnerable to a deadly twist even she never saw coming.

Critic reviews
“Caroline Hewitt's narration is superb, clearly conveying Raisa's confusion and the psychic wounds she carries. Hewitt depicts Delaney's chilling ability to justify her actions with impeccable timing and careful modulation. This series opener shows potential to join the ranks of Patricia Cornwell in terms of creating compelling characters, a surprising story, and satisfyingly complicated motivations.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“This twisty tale challenges Caroline Hewitt to depict the panoply of colorful characters created by Labuskes.… Hewitt matches Labuskes's breakneck pacing and adds anguish to a heartbreaking story. Raisa uncovers the answers with diligence, nail-biting urgency, and surprising turns. Hewitt shines with a creeping tone of paranoia as Labuskes's procedural unfolds.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Labuskes' series starter lays solid groundwork for future episodes featuring agents Susanto and Kilkenny, both complex characters with intriguing backstories, motivations, and personal blind spots. Hand to fans of Iris Johansen's forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and other detectives who take an unconventional approach to solving crime.”—Booklist
