    Summary

    Diana always insisted he and Darcy would find each other again, and Spencer had eagerly awaited that moment, if it ever came at all. Now it had arrived, and Darcy was holding him at arm's length, deflecting him.

    Spencer Reid and Darcy Maddox were inseparable as children, until a schoolyard incident drove a wedge between them. Two decades later, when a series of ritualistic killings brings the BAU to Boston, Spencer and Darcy are reunited. Only, Darcy is guarded, and it’s more than simply having grown up. Gone is the bookish track runner who looked out for him at school. In her place is a woman who holds the world at arm’s length.

    Then another victim disappears, and the team is determined not to let the trail go cold. And when Darcy starts to feel she’s being targeted, the profile begins pointing at something sinister and explosive lurking in her past. Sleepless nights and paranoia ensue, and Spencer is determined to help her trust again.
