reviewed on + 249 more book reviews


An abandoned warehouse burns next door to a woman's shelter for victims of spousal abuse, an apparent case of arson. But it is the charred corpse within--a female body burned beyond all recognition--combined with the political sensitivity of the case, that entangels Superintendent Duncan Kincaid in its twisted skein.
At the same time, Kincaid's lover and former partner, Gemma James, is coping with twin crisis of her own, one personal and the other professional. Gemma must put her private concerns aside to investigate the disappearence of a hospital administrator, a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who vanished without a trace. Yet neither Gemma nor Kincaid realizes how closely their cases are connected--or how important the resolution will be for a young child who was a victim of parental abduction.
