Description: In a small hamlet outside of Saratoga Springs, two women are missing. Several years ago, four women disappeared in the same way, but Jake Peterson solved those cases and a man was convicted of their murders. Jake just returned to Granelle as the new associate pastor for a small church. On the night that the senior pastor is hospitalized, Jake's old boss asks him to return to his job as a detective and take over the case from his ex-partner/ex-fiancee, Meg Riley. As Jake struggles with his desire to help the police force and his commitment to the church, he hears that Meg is following a strange theory tied to animal hairs at the crime scenes. People are talking about her and the captain is questioning her ability to handle the case. As Jake finds himself drawn into the investigation, he realizes that Meg may be the latest victim.
