BEFORE THE KILLING
BOOK ONE

In the summer of 1973, Cassie returns to her coastal Massachusetts hometown. The next day, the town is shaken by a brutal killing – and someone close to her is accused of the crime. The investigation tears through the community, leaving behind guilt, suspicion, and secrets Cassie can’t forget. Seven years later, Cassie’s life is still defined by that night. An unexpected and inexplicable event gives her a chance to finally uncover the truth. But as she retraces the days leading up to the murder, she begins to realize the story she remembers isn’t the whole one—and that someone has been keeping dangerous watch all along.

BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN
BOOK TWO

What happened to Sadie? This question has plagued 25-year-old Rebecca Danser for 19 years. Imagine if at the age of six, you had ditched your four-year-old sister to go play with your friend… and then you never saw her again. In the intervening years, now living in Silicon Valley, Rebecca has made a mess of her life. But soon she realizes this strange ability she recently gained, allowing her to cast her consciousness back into a younger version of herself, can be used to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. What she learns leads her into a remote forest in the Sierra Mountains… where the monster responsible for the destruction of her family lies in wait for her.

BEFORE HE VANISHED
BOOK THREE

Rebecca is troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique time-traveling ability to find children who have disappeared. When she learns about a black child who vanished a year ago, she becomes obsessed by his case. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened.
Though she struggles to trace his movements, her motivation increases the more she learns about this bright, resourceful child, forced to grow up fast after his widowed mother lost her job and became injured in a car crash. Rebecca places her past and present lives at deadly risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator who she thinks must be responsible for Ethan's vanishing.
