Where better for a serial predator to operate than in the Chihuauan and Sonoran deserts that straddle the 2000 mile long U.S./Mexican border from California to Texas? Hundreds of people die there every year as they make the dangerous trek to the Golden North. So, what if that predator collected a few strays, just before they died of exposure? Later, after he'd had his horrific 'fun' with them, he'd dump the bodies back in the desert. Would the Authorities notice? And what if the predator used his position as the county's Medical Examiner to officially sweep the collections of nameless bones under the rug? Would the Authorities investigate? But what if one victim miraculously got away unnoticed and survived? And what if she wants revenge?

This is the third sequel to my award-winning Wattpad Featured Story, 'Posted As Missing', an intense adventure/romance set in the turmoil of World War One Europe. I've grown tired of blood-and-guts war stories, so I've written this series to examine deeper issues. David left the battlefields in the first chapter of the first volume of this story, and to this point, he has not returned to them. He has found far more effective ways to fight the German war machine.
