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?
Barbara's
peace at her retreat on the Oregon coast is shattered when
a terrified young boy leads her to a cabin in the woods
where his battered mother has clearly been left for dead.
Barbara runs for help, but by the time she returns both
mother and son are gone.
The puzzle deepens when Barbara
learns the boy she met is the grandson of a prominent
family…and they have accused her of aiding his
disappearance.
With the help of her father, Frank, she
delves into the mystery, only to realize the kidnapping is
a ruse for a more sinister plan—one that pits the meaning
of family against cold hard cash.
Troubling obstacles
thwart Barbara's every move—from the
justice system
that employs her to the false identities of those around
her. Yet none will compare with the shocking murder scene
that awaits her.
