She was supposed to die… and came back to life. A guilt runs in her veins that she cannot escape.
Ever since her husband’s death, Dr. Emma Anders has been apathetic, her will to live drained. But when she is brutally attacked in a deserted car park, an old instinct kicks in, Emma fights her attacker and survives.
Who would want her dead? Detectives Marcus Winter and Elisabeth Wolf uncover a chilling pattern: the assailant is linked to a string of unsolved murders targeting women from Germany’s old noble families. The only item missing from each victim? Their signet ring.
Emma realises she isn’t just another target—she’s the one they’ve been hunting all along. To stop the killings, she must return to the family she left behind and uncover the truth they’ve kept hidden for decades. But every step draws her closer to the man watching from the shadows—a silent, dangerous assassin who knows exactly what happened the night her husband drowned.
The truth lies in her blood.
A haunted heroine, a bloody family secret, and an assassin with a weakness. An absolute must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Nicola Sanders.
