See How They Hide: A Dark Police Procedural by Allison Brennan
“Do you know how it feels when things are changing so slowly that you don’t realize it until all of a sudden, everything is different?” This thriller is like that. Starting with two murders, the threats grow. You’re like that slowly boiling frog. A page turner.
“Robert Benson, a married forty-seven-year-old antique store owner in rural Weems, Virginia, and twenty-one-year-old single college senior Jane Merrifield in Ashland, Oregon,” had been murdered. “No one would have thought to look at the cases together, except for two facts: both victims had their throats slit, and the killers had littered the bodies with hundreds of dried red poppies.” Kara Quinn and Matt Costa followed the case as the body count rose and the threats mounted.
Victim by victim and clue by clue, the case spreads across the country into an epic battle between Havenwood, a secretive group hidden in the Colorado wilderness, led by Calliope, a charismatic and beautiful woman. “No one was allowed to leave Havenwood. Some had tried; Calliope had stopped them.” Against, Calliope is her daughter, Riley, and her sister, Thalia. Both sides have organizations with skills ranging from ex-military to hacking. Kara, Matt, and the FBI want to stop this war before more people die.
Notable victims:
Jesse Morrison: FBI cybercrime unit had a person of interest—Jesse Morrison, former Colorado State computer programmer, had quit eight years ago and moved into a family home outside the small town of South Fork. While they had no hard evidence that he was a hacker who helped create false identities, Cybercrimes had flagged him because of some suspicious online activities. His St. Bernard dog was named Banjo. Jesse was tortured and murdered, probably looking for information on the others who left Havenwood. His dog was missing.

Crossman: Crossman’s house in Santa Fe. New clothing and shoes, both male
and female, in multiple sizes. Nine identical suitcases. Thirty-six thousand in
cash, but more interesting, Crossman had a stack of laminated red poppies that looked
exactly like the poppy you found in Merrifield’s apartment. He outfitted
new escapees and sent them off to start their new lives.
