In Angel Butte, Oregon near hysterical Andrew Wilson tells the police
that his wife Melissa and their daughter Brianna are missing. Police Sergeant Clay
Renner recognizes the names as Melissa is the sister of police Lieutenant
Jane Vahalik who he loves and lost due to his sexist attitude. As Andrew explains, he left his other child
Alexis with a neighbor; Clay learns that Lissa was in a car accident in an
isolated area that her sister or husband cannot explain why she was there
instead of heading home from the Rite Aid.
Clay briefs Jane with the news that that her comatose sister was rushed
to ICU and her niece Bree remains missing.
As a search party looks for the missing girl, Jane tells Clay that her
brother-in-law was unemployed for four months and widening his geographical
search for a job over the objection of his wife. With Lissa's phone missing and apparently
broken, and no one saw her or the little girl at Rite Aid as reported by Drew,
ABPD suspects the husband tried to kill his wife.
The latest Mysteries Of Angel Butte (see Bringing Maddie Home and
Everywhere She Goes) is a fabulous twisting romantic police procedural that
readers will appreciate as the lead cops know finding Bree takes precedent over
their second chance at love. Readers
will relish this thriller in which the search for the missing little girl
allows the frantic aunt to realize her beloved sexist has her back when he
risks disciplinary action by allowing her to work the case with him in spite of
her conflict of interest.
