On a chilling Minnesota morning, Sarah Pribek comes home to the house she
shares with her husband and fellow cop, Michael Shiloh. Shiloh is supposed
to be in Virginia, starting his training with the FBI. A seasoned
missing-persons investigator, Sarah is used to anxious calls from wives and
parents. She's used to innocent explanations that resolve so many of her
cases. But from the moment she learns that he never arrived at Quantico, she
feels a terrible foreboding. Now, beneath the bed in which they make love,
Sarah finds Shiloh's neatly packed bag. And in that instant the cop in her
knows: Her husband has disappeared. Suddenly Sarah finds herself at the
beginning of the kind of investigation she has made so often. The kind that
she and her ex-partner, Genevieve, solved routinely - until a brutal crime
stole Genevieve's daughter and ended her career. The kind that pries open
family secrets and hidden lives. For Sarah this investigation will mean
going back to the beginning, to Shiloh's religion-steeped childhood in Utah,
the rift that separated him from his family - and the one horrifying case
that struck them both too close to home. As Sarah turns over more and more
unknown ground in her husband's past, she sees her lover and friend change
into a stranger before her eyes. And as she moves further down a trail of
shocking surprises and bitter revelations, Sarah is about to discover that
her worst fear - that Shiloh is dead - may be less painful than what she
will learn next...

my comments;
The first of Compton's books for me, but I will read more. This one was a
slow start but a great finish. A chilling twist at the end, one I didn't
see coming. A 5 out of 5.
Happy reading,
