Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady’s professional and
personal lives collide when her college-age daughter is involved in a missing
persons case in this evocative and atmospheric mystery in J. A. Jance’s New
York Times bestselling suspense series, set in the beautiful desert country
of the American Southwest.
When Jennifer Brady returns to Northern Arizona University
for her sophomore year, she quickly becomes a big sister to her new roommate,
Beth Rankin, a brilliant yet sheltered sixteen-year-old freshman. For a
homeschooled Beth, college is her first taste of both freedom and unfettered
access to the internet, and Jenny is concerned that she’s too naïve and
rebellious for her own good.
Her worries are well-founded because one day Beth vanishes,
prompting Jenny to alert campus authorities, local police, and her mom, Sheriff
Joanna Brady—who calls in a favor. Beth is found, but Jenny’s concern has
unwittingly put her in the crosshairs of a criminal bent on revenge.
With Christmas vacation approaching, and Beth at war with
her parents, Jenny invites Beth to the shelter of the Brady home. While Joanna
is sympathetic, she’s caught up in a sensitive case—an officer-involved
shooting that has placed the lives of two young children in jeopardy—leaving
her stretched thin to help a fragile young woman recently gone missing and
endangered.

Testo aggiuntivo
“What is refreshing is the way [Jance] shows how law enforcement are not just numbers and robots but people with families and a personal home-life. As with all her novels, readers will not be disappointed.”
