When the remains of a young girl are found near the site of a foster child's kidnapping, two colleagues risk their lives to bring one home and find justice for the other.
The day a colleague's eight-year-old foster child is kidnapped at a wedding reception, homicide detectives Deborah Smith and Alex Luna find the bones of a little girl not far from the abduction site. Both are determined to save the boy and solve a five-year-old murder, even as Deborah struggles to hang on to her newfound sobriety while Alex works to get a foothold in her life. The two detectives travel from the seamy underside of San Antonio's drug-dealing gang territory to the back roads of rural America where secrets fester in simple country homes. Their investigation rips off the bandage that covers the cracks in an overburdened, understaffed foster care system and reveals the painful reality that children are all too often battered, terrified victims of the people who should love them Deborah and Alex must risk everything--even their lives--to bring a little boy home safely and unmask a child's murderer.
This fast-paced follow-up to Irvin's romantic suspense novel, A Deadly Wilderness, will keep readers turning the pages long after it's time to turn out the lights.
