*Dallas Morning News
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston
suburb in 1997. Desperate pleas for help from the child's aunt led
savvy, tough-nosed investigators Kenzie and Gennaro to take on the case.
The pair risked everything to find the young girl--only to orchestrate
her return to a neglectful mother and a broken home.
Now Amanda is sixteen--and gone again. A stellar student, brilliant but
aloof, she seemed destined to escape her upbringing. Yet Amanda's aunt
is once more knocking at Patrick Kenzie's door, fearing the worst for
the little girl who has blossomed into a striking, clever young woman
who hasn't been seen in two weeks.
Haunted by the past, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled
them the most, following a twelve-year trail of secrets and lies down
the darkest alleys of Boston's gritty, blue-collar streets. Assuring
themselves that this time will be different, they vow to make good on
their promise to find Amanda and see that she is safe. But in their
desperate fight to rewrite the past, Kenzie and Gennaro will face an
evil that goes beyond broken families, hearts, and dreams--a darkness at
the heart of an impossible decision the two investigators made long ago.
