About this item

Nell McGraw struggles with being a newly widowed mother and running the paper founded by her husband's grandfather. But a paper can't ignore the stories others turn away from, like the badly decomposing body of a child found in the gulf. At first it seems tragic, a child lost because of carelessness. But then another child goes missing. Disgusted by the turf war between the sherriff and the police chief, Nell barely manages to keep her journalistic distance . . . until the killer contacts her, telling Nell her children could be next. Now she must match wits with a psychopath who taunts her, daring Nell and the police to catch him before he can kill again. Praise: "Part mystery, part thriller, part social commentary, and all impossible to put down.
