About the book

D.D. Warren is given a case where the dead body is only the first clue to an unspeakable crime. A young abused wife, finally pushed too far, shoots and kills her abusive husband. That the young wife is a patrol officer for Boston PD will make the press rabid for details. But the little suburban home yields not only a dead body, there is also a little girl's bed and a little girl's toys, but no little girl. Where's the child? Soon, the homicide also becomes a high profile missing person case, one that drills to the core of what makes Warren tick as both a detective and a human being. D.D. finds that every one answer leads to two more questions, and that time is running out.
