Elizabeth Harper went missing and most people are pretty
sure she just disappeared while hiking. But they can't find
a body and pretty soon, the police are ready to give up
because there's no evidence a crime has been committed. All
except for Detective Jack McQuinn, who knows something that
no one else does. He'd been investigating a case about
Internet chat rooms and started talking with a woman who
called herself Lulu. While looking into the Harper case,
McQuinn finds out that Elizabeth was Lulu.
And Lulu had been an abused wife. McQuinn had been
counseling her to leave her husband, to get help before it
was too late. Now he doesn't know if the husband may have
killed her, or if Elizabeth herself planned her
disappearance to get away. He's determined to find out
because he's worried that the advice he was giving
Elizabeth online may have pushed her toward her death.
Meanwhile, evidence is turning up about Dr. Harper,
Elizabeth's husband. He's wanted on an out-of-state warrant
for questioning in the death of a previous wife. In a
dramatically fiery crash, the good doctor disappears and
McQuinn must have answers. If Elizabeth did pull a
disappearing act, he's concerned Dr. Harper is on her
trail, and she really will end up dead!
Piece after piece of the puzzles in this book are revealed,
leaving the reader sitting on the edge of the seat. Just
when you think it's all over, it's not, reminiscent of the
horror films where the bad guy just won't die. While this
book is a bit predictable, it's also tension-filled and
yeah, there's a good romance. A good read.
Elizabeth Harper vanished while hiking alone in Hawaii’s
remote Kahana Valley State Park. There’s no evidence to
suggest what happened…until Detective Jack McQuinn
discovers she is the same woman he counseled online, a
beauty whose coolly detached surgeon husband already spoke
of her in the past tense. Did Dr. Richard Harper murder his
wife, then set up her disappearance? Or did Elizabeth fake
her own death to escape him? Then Dr. Harper’s body is
allegedly ID’d at the site of a fatal car crash, the case
is closed on his wife’s disappearance, and Jack McQuinn
turns in his badge. He’s headed for New Mexico, a search
for two people who disappeared into thin air, a woman he’ll
never forget, and a deadly...DOUBLE PLAY
