New York Times bestselling author Ellie Marney returns with an electrifying, chilling thriller that follows junior FBI consultants Travis Bell and Emma Lewis with a new case that may unravel everything they’ve been working for.
After a harrowing encounter with juvenile sociopath Simon Gutmunsson, junior FBI consultants Emma Lewis and Travis Bell went their separate ways: Emma rejected her Quantico offer, and Travis stayed to train within a new unit of the Behavioral Science division. But the unit’s latest case is feeling eerily familiar, and Kristin Gutmunsson—Simon's eccentric twin—reaches out to Travis to send a warning: Emma is in peril.
When new evidence points to a copycat of Daniel Huxton, the serial killer that she escaped, Emma returns to Quantico and is thrown back into her past traumas. Compelled to prevent more tragedy—even if it means putting herself in danger—she looks to Simon once again. But can he be trusted to help stop the killer before time runs out for his next victims?

Gr 8 Up-Teen FBI recruits Emma and Travis escaped teen sociopath and murderer Simon Gutmunsson in None Shall Sleep, but now, they might need him to help solve their next case: a copycat of the same serial killer Emma barely got away from years ago. Set in the 1980s, when serial killers were a relatively new idea, Emma and Travis navigate an interesting period in police history. Marney's writing focuses more on developing characters in this installment but doesn't sacrifice suspense to do it. Emma is white, Travis biracial, and there is additional diversity in the supporting characters. VERDICT Read-alike to Jennifer Lynn Barnes's The Naturals as historical fiction. Recommended for general purchase.

Starred review from April 1, 2023
Three months after helping the FBI bring down the Berryville Butcher in None Shall Sleep (2020), college students Emma Lewis and Travis Bell reunite on a new case with a chilling connection to Emma's past. Emma was the sole survivor of serial killer Daniel Huxton, who died three years ago in 1979. Her insights from that experience proved invaluable to the FBI's fledgling Behavioral Science department in their hunt for the Butcher. Now, the department is investigating murders in Pittsburgh that bear a resemblance to Huxton's M.O. Despite her distrust of the bureau, Emma figures that consulting on this case in hopes of saving other girls is preferable to chafing in protective custody until the copycat is caught. Travis is now in part-time training at Quantico, and there's another familiar face there--that of Kristin Gutmunsson, whose sociopathic twin, Simon, played a critical role in the Butcher case. Enigmatic Kristin volunteers her own insights--plus Simon's cooperation--in hopes of reducing her brother's death sentence to life in prison. The rich, engaging narrative jumps among the three young people, employing taut, restrained language laced with a pervasive feeling of dread as the stakes escalate. While the fast pace and morbidly fascinating subject keep the pages turning, the book's thoughtful exploration of intense trauma, PTSD, and therapy-informed treatment centers survivors and keeps the story grounded. Emma and Kristin are White; Travis is Mexican American. A razor-sharp sequel exceeding the previous installment's high expectations.
