Publisher Description
The beloved multi-million copy bestselling author is back with a brand-new novel about an injured cop in a race against time to find a twisted serial killer
Frustrated and bored, injured cop Sloan Cooper is looking for anything to distract her from staring down the barrel of months of slow, painful recovery. When a woman mysteriously vanishes without trace from a supermarket car park, Sloan knows there is more to this case than meets the eye. As she begins to investigate she quickly uncovers similar cases across three states. Men and women, old and young-all with seemingly nothing in common. And the abductions keep happening.
With no clues to speak of and a list of the missing growing almost daily, it will take every ounce of Sloan's endurance to get to the dark heart of this bizarre case. And she's willing to risk her life again if that's what it takes...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Roberts returns (after Mind Games) with a solid standalone about a wounded cop tracking a series of mysterious disappearances. Sloan Cooper, a corporal in Maryland's Natural Resources Police, is shot while stopping a robbery at a gas station. Faced with a long recovery process, she returns to her family home in the small mountain town of Heron's Rest. There, she meets Nash Littlefield, a former New York City lawyer who moved to Heron's Rest to start a contracting business with his younger brother. News that a woman in the area has disappeared, leaving her car behind in a supermarket parking lot, piques Sloan's interest. When a middle-aged man vanishes under similar circumstances, Sloan looks for connections between the cases, and finds several other disappearances in two nearby states. With Nash's help, Sloan investigates, and comes to believe that a serial killer is stalking the region. Roberts devotes more time to Nash's renovation projects—and his budding romance with Sloan—than the core mystery, but provides plenty of lovable side characters and cozy escapism. For Roberts's fans, this delivers the goods.
