Chapter 55 Summary

Following tire tracks through heavy snow, Tracy struggles up a forested slope toward a remote property that she recognizes from aerial photos used in House’s trial. She confirms that a courthouse flatbed truck is parked there by checking its license plate. The ramshackle house shows shoveled steps but no signs of heat or smoke from the chimney.


Finding the unlocked door, Tracy draws her Glock and enters the freezing, garbage-filled interior. She follows the sound of a generator to an adjoining room, where she discovers Parker slumped in an armchair but still alive. Approaching cautiously, she realizes that metal spikes have been driven through Parker’s hands and feet, pinning him to both the chair and floor.

Chapter 56 Summary

After clearing the other rooms, Tracy returns to Parker, who struggles to warn her about something. She realizes too late that she has walked into a trap when someone strikes her from behind and disarms her. Her attacker catches her and whispers menacingly that she smells just like Sarah.


Meanwhile, Sheriff Calloway and Deputy Armstrong carry an injured DeAngelo Finn to an ambulance. Paramedic Ronkowski urges them to hurry since Finn’s condition is critical. Calloway tells Finn that he will finish what started 20 years ago and orders Armstrong to bring Clark and their families to the station for safety.
