Former TV News personality Nikki McDonald gets a tip about a body. She finds the remains of a body in an old apartment building. FBI Special Agent Zoe Spencer uses the skull to sculpt a likeness of the victim. She realizes right away that the victim is Marsha Prince, a woman who disappeared nearly eighteen years ago. Detective William Vaughn was a rookie when Marsha disappeared. Now is his chance to solve her murder. Detective Vaughn, along with Agent Spencer, notifies Marsha's family. But strange things start happening when Marsha's sister, Hadley, and her teenage daughter Schuyler, are both taken from their home by a masked man. Now Vaughn and Spencer are racing against time to find Hadley and Schuyler.Â
This book is part of Burton's Criminal Profiler series; but can be read as a standalone with no problem. The romance and the suspense are well balanced. Vaughn and Zoe are on-again, off-again lovers. Things heat up again when they start working together. There are lots of twists and turns in this story. All of the suspects are hiding something that Vaughn and Zoe have to figure out. Vaughn is also working a series of murders that might tie to the women's disappearance. My rating: 4 Stars.
