“Throw in some shady characters, hidden secrets, questionable legal decisions, and small town politics and you have an amazing whodunit. This book is well written and keeps you guessing.” Reading Susan, Amazon Reviewer

While cleaning out closed cases, Mark discovers a file on a missing toddler. After reading the two pages within, he realizes evidence is missing. The only interviews, by the detective who previously had Mark’s job, was conducted with a bitter ex-wife and a former business partner, both of whom pointed at the father.

It appears to have been an open and shut case. Although no body was found, the father was charged and convicted, and the case was closed.

But, Mark and Billy Jo soon discover a family of secrets, a volatile marriage, and a forbidden relationship—and the mystery of the missing girl, whose body has never been found, becomes a case that should never have been closed.
