I had been inside Daniel Voss’s house less than three minutes when I noticed the mug on the kitchen counter. The coffee inside was cold, but the ceramic was still ringed with fresh condensation from the ice pack resting beside it. Daniel told us his housemate, Warren Pike, had collapsed without warning after refusing medical care for two days. Then he said something none of us had asked: “Whatever happened to him started somewhere else.” By sunrise, we already knew that wasn’t true.

Part 1 The call came into the Madison County emergency center at 6:42 on a gray February morning. The caller identified himself as Daniel Voss….

It was the calm way she explained the decision that saved her life. By then, police already had the man who attacked her. The problem was that he believed they were searching for a body.

The first thing that bothered Detective Lena Mercer was not the missing money. It was the coffee. When she arrived at Grace Harbor Community Church, two members of the finance committee were waiting beside three bankers’ boxes and a laptop. One of them had been awake most of the night. The other kept saying they had probably made some kind of accounting mistake. But on the conference table, beside a stack of statements showing resort charges, jewelry purchases, and private-school tuition, sat a fresh coffee receipt from that morning. It had been paid with the church card they believed had been canceled three weeks earlier.

Part 1 Grace Harbor Community Church stood at the edge of Bellweather, Georgia, where the highway narrowed into two lanes and the subdivisions gave way…
