This is the book that made me a lifelong fan of Ms. Hoag's work. Child abduction is a tough subject to address in a novel but she pulls it off. One suggestion-- Don't watch the Lifetime (I think) movie based on this book. (

This book was recomended to me by a friend that couldn't stop talking about it so I picked it up, I have to say that I was blown away by this story. The dark subject, twists and turns, but also the likability of the lead character and her obvious limitations and vulnerabilities. Tammy Hoag does such an excellent job pulling you into this story and it's characters, and, because they are so down to earth, you ride along beside them from beginning to end. (

This was the first book of a 2 book series (Guilty as Sin) and the story was intriguing. Enjoy this author. (

This is the prequel to Guilty as Sin, and it was soooh good. I felt really gripped by what was going on and the suspense and tension never let up. (

A Andrea, pour m'avoir ouvert les portes, à Nita pour m'avoir aidé à les franchir.
A Irwin, pour son soutien et son génie, à Beth, pour son excellent travail, et à Kate Miciak pour avoir toujours été là.
Et à Dan, assez patient et compréhensif pour supporter tous mes personnages - vrais comme imaginaires - ainsi que mon tempérament d'artiste, ô combien réel. Tu es ma planche de salut, mon appui, celui qui me hisse vers les étoiles et me permet de les atteindre. Je t'aime.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 055356451X, Mass Market Paperback)

A peaceful Minnesota town, where crime is something that just doesn’t happen, is about to face its worst nightmare. A young boy disappears. There are no witnesses, no clues—only a note, cleverly taunting, casually cruel. Has a cold-blooded kidnapper struck? Or is this the reawakening of a long-quiet serial killer?

A tough-minded investigator on her first, make-or-break case . . . A local cop who fears that big-city evils have come to stalk his small-town home . . . Together they are hunting for a madman who knows no bounds, to protect a town that may never feel safe again.
