A taut, fast-paced, page-turning thriller…
Griffin’s gripping thriller explores the dark undercurrents of family and justice. When fourteen-year-old Julie Morgan vanishes on her way to school after an argument with her twin sister, the quiet Maryland town of Morgan’s Landing is left in shock. Her wealthy family reels, and Detective Jim Brady, a veteran cop and family man, takes the case. A fired janitor, a paroled sex offender, and Julie’s computer teacher all make the suspect list, but Jim’s own teenage son also comes under scrutiny. Jim refuses to believe his son could be involved, but his wife is certain he’s hiding something. As the pressure mounts, Jim must find Julie before it’s too late and somehow keep the peace at home. With taut, unrelenting prose, the novel delivers a psychological gut punch wrapped in a sharp, small-town thriller. It’s a story of justice, family, and the cracks that form when the two collide. The twists come hard and fast, and the emotional stakes cut deep. Crime fiction fans, especially those drawn to domestic suspense, will be hooked.
