Tracy Crosswhite's sister disappeared twenty years ago. A man was convicted of her murder, even though a body was never found. Now, her body is discovered by hunters, giving new evidence that the conviction may have been incorrect. Tracy, a homicide detective, is determined to find the answer.
This novel effectively uses backstory alternating with the current story to bring the reader into the plot. The characters are well-developed and most motivations believable. However, the book is just too long; it drags in the middle, and the ending is tediously extended. In addition, while there is suspense, the solution to the mystery itself is apparent before the denouement. This is by no means a bad book, but it isn't better than average.
