St. Louis librarian Laura knows that things have not been going well between her half-sister, Darcy, and herself, but she never thought Darcy would run away. Panic-stricken as a blizzard sweeps through the city, Laura turns to private investigator James Dev Devlin for help in finding Darcy before it is too late. In the second in Hannon's Private Justice series, following Vanished (2013), the icy cold snowstorm won't be the only thing giving readers the shivers as RITA and Carol Awardwinning Hannon once again demonstrates her mastery at crafting spine-tingling romantic thrillers that, without graphic violence and language, utterly enthrall readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
