“The most engaging pair of detectives I’ve seen in a long while.” —David Morrell SOME SECRETS WILL NOT DIE   For three agonizing decades, seasoned manhunter Jacob Rein has been consumed by one case—a missing girl never found and two cops dead, one murdered, the other a suicide.      Rein’s protégé, Detective Carrie Santero, shares an equal fascination with the twisted patterns of murder. But when the discovery of a small human foot unearthed in the Pennsylvania woods leads her to a decades-old cold case, she is not prepared for the secrets she will unravel—and their connection to her mentor’s dark and buried past . . .  Praise for Berard Schaffer’s The Thief of All Light   “Tense, fast, and excellent—I loved this book.” —Lee Child   “Schaffer writes about cops with the assurance of a seasoned police veteran.”  —Lisa Scottoline  “Schaffer presents a thriller that is both gruesome in content and honest in its portrayal of police procedures.” —Booklist  “Schaffer is the real deal.
