Zoe Duncan refuses to believes that her beloved daughter has run away, and she risks her job, home, and impending nuptials when she employs private investigator Jonathan Stivers, who suspects that the girl may be close to home.
Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2009 August #1 When Zoe Duncan's daughter Sam disappears, Zoe doesn't know what to do. The police believe Sam left because she doesn't want her mother to get married again, but Zoe knows that just is not true. Then Zoe remembers meeting Sheridan Cole, a woman who works for the Last Stand, a victim's charity in Sacramento. After Zoe contacts her, Sheridan convinces PI Jonathan Stivers to take the case, even though he believes it may already be a lost cause. But the more time Jonathan puts into searching for Sam, the more he comes to suspect that she was taken by someone close to Zoe, and the more committed he becomes to doing whatever it takes to help Zoe find her daughter. In the first book in a new trilogy loosely linked to her previous Last Stand books, Novak delivers another expertly crafted work of suspenseful intrigue heightened by white-knuckle danger and realistically complicated romance.
