Who knew that being a Good Samaritan would lead Barbara
Holloway to face her biggest challenge ever: being named
prime suspect in a high-profile kidnapping?
The peace and quiet of Barbara's retreat on the Oregon
coast is shattered when a terrified young boy calls to her
as she walks along a deserted beach. Frantically he leads
her to a cabin deep in the woods where his mother lies
senseless and battered—clearly left for dead. Barbara runs
for help, but by the time she returns with the police and
medics both mother and son are gone.
The puzzle only deepens when, back in the city, Barbara
learns that the boy she met is the grandson of a wealthy
and prominent family . . . and that they have accused her
of aiding and abetting his disappearance.
With the help of her father, Frank, Barbara delves into
the mystery of the missing child, only to realize that the
kidnapping is a ruse for a more sinister plan—a plan that
pits the meaning of family against cold hard cash.
But the more she learns, the more questions she has, and
troubling obstacles continue to thwart her every move—from
the justice system that employs her, to the false
identities of those around her. Yet none of these things
compares to the shocking murder scene that awaits her.
