Soft cover and e-book editions
When 8-year old Jerry Beakey goes missing it's Detective Steve Music's job to get out there and find the boy—alive if possible.
One ray of sunshine in this case is Shelly Lambert, a volunteer from The Coalition for Missing Children.
Together they delve into Jerry's mysterious disappearance. The FBI enters the case. Everybody, even Jerry's parents and his priest, comes under suspicion. Registered sex offenders and sometimes unregistered offenders; all are placed under the microscope, but every clue proves to be a dead end.
And to make matters worse, secrets from Shelly's past emerge to pour rain on the budding romance between her and Steve.
But in the end, working separately, Shelly and Steve both come to the frightening solution to Jerry's disappearance. The race is on to catch a murderer—and save Jerry before it's too late!
