About the book . . .

A tenacious reporter. A skeptical PI. And a secret that will shatter lives.

Reporter Moira Harrison is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a lone figure suddenly appears in the beam of her headlights, Moira slams on her brakes-but it’s too late. She feels the solid thump against the side of her car before crashing into a tree on the far side of the road.

A man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then the world fades to black. When she comes to, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person. But she can’t forget the look of terror she saw on that face in the instant before her headlights swung away. And she can’t get anyone to believe her story-except maybe a handsome ex–homicide detective turned private eye, who reluctantly agrees to take on the case.

As clues begin to surface, it becomes obvious that someone doesn’t want this mystery solved-and will stop at nothing to protect a shocking secret.

Reader Review . . .

Reporter Moira Harrison did the wrong thing: she took a detour on a little-traveled side road late at night. When her headlights show a frightened figure standing in the middle of the rain-slicked highway, she is unable to stop in time. But the worst is yet to come: there is no sign of the person she hit, and she's having trouble convincing the police of her story. Being a tenacious reporter, she takes matters into her own hands; but what will happen when she gets too close to the truth?

This is my kind of novel. A little romance, but not saccharine sweet, and heavy on the suspense and mystery. While I admit that I figured out part of the solution early into the story, there was enough mystery and action to hold me spellbound to the end.

Recommended for adults and teens.
