"Smart, tightly written...filled with so many twists and turns, readers will think they have latched onto a literary Rubik's Cube." - Denver PostA seasoned missing-persons investigator, Sarah Pribek is used to anxious calls from wives and parents, used to the innocent explanations that resolve so many of her cases. But when her husband, a fellow officer, vanishes without a trace, the cop inside her knows: Something is terribly wrong."A compelling story, drawing the reader deeper and deeper into the lives of its characters." - San Francisco ChronicleSuddenly Sarah finds herself at the beginning of the kind of investigation she has made so often. But for her this one is personal. It will take her back to the beginning, to her husband's religion-steeped childhood, his family, his cold cases - including the one horrifying case that struck them both too close to home. And as she moves further down a trail of shocking surprises and bitter revelations, Sarah is about to discover that her worst fear - that her husband is dead - may be less painful than what she will learn next...."A dazzling debut...Watch this writer. She does it all." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
