Everyone said Linda Caldwell was paranoid. For twenty years, she insisted her best friend's murder wasn't random. That a serial killer was hunting women across southern Indiana. That she had proof. No one believed her. When Linda dies under suspicious circumstances, her daughter Emma discovers the truth hidden in coded journals: twelve women murdered over three decades. Twelve families who never got answers. And one name that connects them all. Emma must finish what her mother started—decoding twenty years of encrypted evidence while racing against a killer who's spent nearly thirty years perfecting his craft. A killer who's already murdered to protect his secrets. A killer who knows Emma is getting close. Because in small towns where everyone knows everyone, the most dangerous predator is always the last person you'd suspect. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Gillian Flynn , THE KEEPER is a gripping psychological thriller about the patterns we miss, the women society forgets, and one daughter's relentless pursuit of justice—no matter the cost.
