The small child floats so gently in the water, he could be peacefully asleep: but the cold blue of his skin reveals his fate. One mother's little boy is never coming home again.
When Chief Maggie Riley sees the body of the small boy still dressed in pyjamas in Beaverhead Lake, her heart breaks. Little Patrick Warner went missing last night. Despite immediately calling the entire town of Coyote Cove into action, Maggie's desperate search failed. Even worse, it's clear it was murder: Patrick took his last breath long before he entered the water.
Maggie is devastated-Patrick reminds her so much of her beautiful younger brother, gone for so long. Visiting the tiny, rumpled bed where Patrick's teddy bear still lies, and where Patrick was last seen by his mother Jenny, Maggie's grief turns to rage. She is determined to bring whoever hurt Patrick to justice.
In this isolated community, someone must know something. But no one will talk. And if his family had nothing to do with it, why are they so secretive? As Maggie's investigation gathers pace, her emotions threaten to overwhelm her. She still doesn't know her brother's fate-she won't let that happen for little Patrick.
But when Jenny suddenly disappears, suspicions whirl around her role in Patrick's death. Could she have been lying all this time? Or is Jenny herself in terrible danger too? To uncover the truth before more innocent lives are lost, and lay her demons to rest, Maggie will have to risk not only those closest to her but her own life too...
An utterly addictive crime thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Mary Stone and Melinda Leigh.
