When he met her online, she was a woman living in daily fear of her husband's chilling, systematic abuse. But she had a plan, a place to go, and someone to go with. That was her last message before signing off forever.
Elizabeth Harper vanished while biking alone in Hawaii's remote Kahana Valley State Park. There was no body, no evidence to suggest what had happened...until Detective Jack McQuinn discovered she was the same woman he'd counseled online, a beauty whose coolly, detached surgeon husband already spoke of her in the past tense. Had Dr. Richard Harper murdered his wife, then set up her disappearance? Or had Elizabeth faked her own death to escape him?
Then Dr. Harper's body was allegedly ID'd at the site of a fatal car crash, the case closed on his wife's disappearance, and Jack McQuinn turned in his badge. He was headed for New Mexico, to search for two people who'd disappeared into thin air, a woman he'd never forget and a deadly...DOUBLE PLAY.
