Book SynopsisA Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestseller. In the fifth book of the multimillion-copy bestselling series, Morgan Dane and Lance Kruger fight for the innocence of a young murder suspect—if only they could find him. When a retired sheriff’s deputy is shot to death in his home, his troubled teenage stepson, Evan, becomes the prime suspect. Even more incriminating, the boy disappeared from the scene of the crime. Desperate to find her son, Evan’s mother begs PI Lance Kruger for help. She knows her son is innocent. Kruger and defense attorney Morgan Dane want to believe that too, but the evidence against the boy is damning. Just as the trail goes cold, another deputy vanishes. His shocking connection to Evan’s stepfather throws the investigation into chaos as Lance and Morgan fear the worst…that Evan is the killer’s new target. With so many secrets to unravel, will Lance and Morgan find him before it’s too late?
Trade Review“Bestseller Leigh’s intense fifth addition to the ongoing saga of the Dane family piles on the drama…A fun subplot featuring another PI and a reporter seems likely to enliven future volumes…Morgan and Lance’s romance, mingled with realistic family detail, takes a back seat to roller-coaster suspense.” —Publishers Weekly “Works perfectly well as a standalone, although one of the real strengths of the series is the closely knit ‘family’ of characters the author has built up around Morgan…An intriguing mystery…keeps you turning the pages through the twists, turns, and life-or-death situations until the very end.” —All About Romance “This is a sit down, get comfortable, and get ready to read to the end because you can’t stop reading kind of story. Melinda Leigh never disappoints!” —Harlequin Junkie “Melinda Leigh knows exactly how to craft a good mystery.” —Under the Covers
