Blood like mine

"On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate Colorado mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food; her adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet. As Rebecca tries to dig her van out of the snow, a man in a pickup truck stops and offers her a tow. Rebecca declines, but this chance encounter with a stranger will destroy the life she has fought so hard to hold together. Now her worst fears come to life as she is caught between a ravenous predator and a fate worse than death. Rebecca would die to protect her daughter, but dying wouldn't be enough to satisfy this monster . . . On the other side of the country, FBI agent Marc Donner has a break in a serial killer case he has been tracking for two years"--Provided by publisher.
