On her way home after dropping her son off at school, Shayla Whitman sees her new neighbor, Lt. Peter Greene, trying to flag cars down along the highway. When she stops to see what is wrong, he jumps in the car and orders her to follow a car in which his 15-year-old daughter just climbed into. Pete has been searching for his daughter, Maddie, since she left the house the previous day. Romance writer Shayla is thrilled to help out her handsome Navy Seal neighbor. She's also thrilled to be part of a rescue, just like the characters she writes about. As Pete and Shayla work to track down Maddie and her boyfriend, Dingo, they discover that Maddie may be in serious danger.

I'm so glad Suzanne Brockmann is continuing her Troubleshooters series. This new addition to the series makes it feel like she never took a break. Pete and Shayla are both wonderful characters. I had a little trouble getting used to Shayla's inner dialogue coming from her own fictional character named Harry. But after a while I started enjoying Harry's quips. I also really liked Maddie's boyfriend, Dingo. Maddie wasn't a favorite of mine since she is very immature and somewhat selfish, but that can be forgiven since she just lost her mother and is still mourning her.

Several favorites from previous Troubleshooter books are here to help, including Izzy Zanella. You can't go wrong when Izzy is on the scene. I'm looking forward to more Troubleshooter books in the future. My rating: 5 Stars.
