Three years
ago Karin Schaeffer was devastated when her family was brutally
murdered. Her partner, Mac MacLawry helped her regain her sanity.
Now she has married Mac and is to celebrate their second wedding
anniversary. Mac has quit the Maplewood police department and is
now vice president of Forensic Security, an exclusive security firm.
On the morning
of their anniversary, Mac leaves for work and disappears. His parents
are found brutally slain in what seems to be a home invasion gone
bad. Police suspect Mac's brother based on DNA evidence. Two weeks
later Mac's car, apparently a rental, is found abandoned in Long
Island Sound with no trace of a body. Karen is convinced Mac is
alive and hires a private investigator. She discovers things about
Mac's past connecting him with the Mexican drug cartel. She must
find the truth and Mac.
This is a suspense
filled plot with many questions and twists and turns. The atmosphere
is chilling. The characterization is excellent, especially Karen's
who is steadfast in her belief and loyalty to her husband. The level
of suspense is constant from page one until the exciting climax.
