For American Stephanie Cahill, Bella Vista is a new beginning-- a chance to put her painful past behind her. Yet, from the moment the first body is discovered at the site of an archeological dig, Stephanie feels as if she's being watched, followed, studied... hunted.
Archeological Grant Peterson senses something odd about this dig, something that haas him locking his door at night. And now, the echoes of a burial site's ancient legend can be found in the chilling signature of a killer on the loose.
The powerful attraction between Stephanie and Grant is a complication neither can afford as they are pulled into a desperate race against time to keep Stephanie from joining the ranks of the missing. For nothing in Bella Vista is what it seems. No one can be trusted. And those closest to Stephanie may prove the most dangerous of all...

The rustic oceanfront village of Bella Vista seems like something from an Italian postcard-until young women start disappearing, only to be found horrible mutilated. The police fear a sexual serial killer is at work-something to be hushed up to keep the tourists calm. But the fear in the eyes of the locals says it all:the murders are starting again...

This thriller kept me spellbound all the way to the surprise ending (which I thought I saw coming but boy, was I wrong)!

Stephanie Cahill is at and acheological dig when the first body is discovered and she feels as if she is being watched, followed, studied and hunted. Grant Peterson, the archeologist, senses something odd about the dig from the very beginning. Together they are pulled in a desperate race against time to keep Stephanie from joining the ranks of the missing. No one can be trusted and those closest to Stephanie may prove the most dangerous of all.
