A Stolen Hammer. A Dead Suspect. A Trail That Leads Somewhere Worse.
Detective Lacey James of Sweet Home, Oregon needs to solve her marriage problems. Instead, her focus is on a culprit fleeing a robbery call, and her alarm grows when his getaway car turns out to hide rope, gloves, zip ties, and a gun. Her success in hunting the man down turns to horror when he grabs a firearm, killing a fellow officer and then himself.
With her only lead lying silent on a slab, Lacey's suspicions harden after a woman connected to the case turns up missing. Fearing what every wasted hour means for the kidnapped victim, she follows the clues to a gruesome scene, and a warning that she may already be too late.
Find Her is the first book in the Lacey James small-town crime thriller series and a BookFest Gold Medal winner for best police procedural, for readers who love sharp-witted heroines, small-town police procedurals and villain-POV chapters. Perfect for fans of Kendra Elliot, Lisa Regan and Melinda Leigh.
