Eleven-year-old Thomas Lemay vanishes from his bedroom in the middle of the night. No struggle. No prints. Just an open window, and his beloved teddy bear missing from the bed.

Days later, the bear is found deep in the woods. It's not alone. A trail of abandoned stuffed animals litters the forest like breadcrumbs.

Newly appointed as Blackberry Cove's sheriff, Gregg Hunter had hoped for a fresh start, and a safer place to raise his daughter after tragedy shattered their lives. But Thomas's disappearance rips away any sense of peace. And it's only the beginning.

As Hunter digs, the illusion of small-town innocence unravels. Thomas's family is fractured by secrets. The priest who once mentored the boy keeps showing up uninvited. And the one person who knew Thomas's secrets may be too scared to speak.

Hunter believes Thomas was only the first. And unless the truth comes to light, there's no telling which child is next.
