Detective David Porter thought the nightmare was over.

After closing one of the deadliest serial killer cases in Houston history, the veteran homicide detective is finally ready to return to normal life — a beautiful wife, two daughters, and a career most cops only dream about.

Then the killings start again.

Children are disappearing.

Bodies are turning up across Houston.

And every crime scene carries the same horrifying signature.

Someone is copying a monster.

Or the real killer never stopped.

As panic spreads through the city, Porter is pulled into a brutal investigation that quickly becomes personal after a violent storm and a shocking kidnapping change everything. Now, with time running out, Porter must hunt a killer who never makes mistakes while trying to save the people he loves most.

But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because some predators don’t just want to kill.

They want to destroy everything.

Fast-paced, dark, and impossible to put down, The Woman Who Took Them delivers relentless suspense, shocking twists, and high-stakes action from beginning to end.

From USA TODAY bestselling author Terry Keys comes a heart-pounding thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
