And all have links to Montana rancher Trace O'Halleran, the man Kacey just started dating. The deeper Kacey digs, the more reason she has to fear. More look-alikes are dying, and the killer is getting bolder and more brutal. Now Kacey knows it's only a matter of time before hers is the next name on a list of those who were born to die.Deadline
