She'd never been this terrified but she refused to let it show, to give her captors more power. As she was led out of the van with her parents, she stifled a cry. Ahead of her was an old farm, surrounded by fields. There was no one for miles around. No one to hear the screams that would inevitably come.
When a seemingly ordinary family goes missing in plain sight, Detective Amanda Steele is called in to find them before it's too late. The only evidence left behind is the mother's abandoned car in a mall parking lot-her phone and purse on the front seat. But why would anyone target a loving mother, a dedicated father and elementary schoolteacher, and a teenage girl?
Amanda and Trent speak with friends and family but can't unearth any reason the family would disappear on their own. Their darker suspicion is confirmed when they find CCTV footage of the mother and daughter being bundled into an unmarked black van, driven away at speed. They are looking at an abduction.
Soon human remains are discovered in a field outside of town, and Amanda uncovers a lead that could blow the investigation wide open. If she's right, this case is linked to a woman who went missing ten years ago-and closer still, to someone within the police department. But can Amanda and Trent put all the pieces together in time to stop a twisted killer before more lives are lost?
A completely gripping and pulse-pounding crime thriller, perfect for fans of Kendra Elliott, Robert Dugoni and Mary Burton.
