“Sure thing,” he replied, walking behind her as she approached the wall of the ravine. “Do you want to take the elevator up?” he quipped, pointing at the basket whirling as it lifted the last case of bones to the surface.
Being how tired she was, Kay considered it for a moment, but then laughed it away. “Can you imagine me dangling in the wind there again? No, thanks, I’ll walk.”
She started to climb the path to the surface, grunting at times, and leaning onto Elliot’s arm whenever she needed.
“You know,” he said with a hint of amusement in his voice and a sparkle in his eyes, “I should have this bruise looked at. I think there’s a couch in that hospital with my name on it.”
She turned to him briefly, a tiny smile fluttering on her lips. “I bet there is.”
The path narrowed and she stopped, but he gestured gallantly with his hand. “After you, partner.”
When she’d turned her back to him and knew he couldn’t see her, she grinned widely. She liked the sound of that.

The Girl from Silent Lake
Her daughter, with emerald eyes and the sweetest smile, is everything to her. Her whole world. “Mommy,” the little girl says, touching her mother’s face with trembling fingers before she’s torn away. “Don’t cry.” Will she ever see her again?
When single mother Alison Nolan sets off with her six-year-old daughter, Hazel, she can’t wait to spend precious time with her girl. A vacation in Silent Lake, where snow-topped mountains are surrounded by the colors of fall, is just what they need. But hours later, Alison and Hazel vanish into thin air.
Detective Kay Sharp rushes to the scene. The only evidence that they were ever there is an abandoned rental car with a suitcase in the back, gummy bears in the open glove compartment and a teddy bear on the floor.
Kay’s mind spins. A week before, the body of another woman from out of town was found wrapped in a blanket, her hair braided and tied with feathers. Instinct tells her that the cases are connected––and it won’t be long until more innocent lives are lost.
As Kay leads a frenzied search, time is against her, but she vows that Alison and little Hazel will be found alive. She works around the clock, even though the small town is up in arms, saying she’s asking too many questions. Then she uncovers a vital clue – a photograph of the blanket that the first victim was buried in.
Just when Kay thinks she’s found the missing piece, she realises she’s being watched. Is she getting too close, or is her own past catching up with her?
With a little girl’s life on the line, Kay will stop at nothing. But will it be enough to get inside the mind of the most twisted killer she has ever encountered, or will another blameless child be taken?
A totally gripping and utterly pulse-pounding crime thriller series for readers who love Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni, and Kendra Elliot. This twist-packed page-turner gives “unputdownable” a whole new meaning!
