About this ebook

A new story from the bestselling and award-winning master of suspense, introducing Colter Shaw.

Colter Shaw is a career "reward-seeker," making his living traveling the country and locating missing persons, collecting reward money in return. So it is not unusual when a wealthy entrepreneur hires him to track down his wife, an enigmatic artist who vanished one month before. As Shaw begins to investigate, he suspects that she was fleeing a bad marriage, and he follows her trail to an artists' retreat in Indiana. The case takes one surprising turn after another, and soon Shaw begins to wonder if this mysterious woman is more of a captor than a captive.

Ratings and reviews

A great mini mystery with just the right combination of character and description. You don't have to know anything about Shaw or his MO to enjoy this story. If you have already read his first story this won't drive you crazy with lots of repeated background information. Best of all there's a real end, not just another to be continued when you buy the next book kind of end. But you really should because this is GOOD story telling. Finest kind.

Great read! Love this new character!

a Jeffery deaver, masterpiece!
