SHE NEVER REALIZED JUST HOW PERFECT…
Single parenthood is challenging enough for Zoe Hayes, raising a young daughter in Queen Village, a Philadelphia suburb whose homes—like its residents—have seen better days. Then comes the blustery afternoon when little Molly makes a shocking discovery while playing outdoors: a dismembered finger.

HER IMPERFECT LIFE REALLY WAS…
What Zoe longs to believe is a gruesome fluke quickly takes on unsettling significance. One by one, young nannies are vanishing from the neighborhood, falling victim to a shadowy killer. Uneasily drawn into the chilling case—and an unexpected relationship—by enigmatic Detective Nick Stiles, Zoe assumes she and Molly are safe. But then terror strikes close to home.
