Now she hosts a popular true crime podcast that focuses on cold cases of missing and abducted children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After four seasons of successfully solving these cases in Minnesota's Twin Cities, Elle decides to tackle her white whale: The Countdown Killer. Twenty years ago, TCK was terrorizing the community, kidnapping and ritualistically murdering three girls over seven days, each a year younger than the last. Then, after he took his eleven-year-old victim, the pattern--and the murders--abruptly stopped. No one has ever known why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Elle follows up on a listener tip only to discover the man's dead body, she feels at fault. Then, within days, a child is abducted--a young girl who seems to fit suspiciously into the TCK sequence halted decades before. While media and law enforcement long ago concluded that TCK had died by suicide, Elle has never believed TCK was dead. She had hoped her investigation would lay that suspicion to rest, but her podcast seems instead to be inciting new victims. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"A masterful, heart-pounding suspense that ushers in an astonishing new voice in crime fiction.\" \u003cbr\u003e --Samantha M.
