“a pulse-pounding page-turner that will keep you reading all night long.” International multi-million-copy bestselling author, Lisa Regan Longing for the closeness she had with her father during her bout with Hodgkin’s disease, young ex-cop Lauren Beck drives cross-country to visit him and his new wife, Ana. Getting mugged on their doorstep is bad enough. Learning that Ana disappeared without a word? Devastating! Several young girls have also gone missing, prompting Lauren’s haunting memory of an abducted child she was too late to save. For her father’s sake—and her own—she would love to help any way she can. Yet she has scarcely begun before an irate criminal strikes back. As a police officer, Lauren thought she dealt with every sort of crime there is, but this time is different. Her family is being torn apart, and she fears nothing will ever be the same again. This edgy third book in the Lauren Beck crime/thriller series can also stand alone.
