When one of Nadia's employees goes missing, she is immediately alarmed. She has a small staff and is fiercely protective of them. The woman, a teenage unwed mother, is considered "white trash" by the locals. Law enforcement thinks she has taken the baby and run off. When Nadia tries to point out that the girl's disappearance doesn't make any sense and needs to be looked into, her protests fall on deaf ears. Nadia realizes if there is to be an investigation, she needs to do it herself. So with the help of her mentor, Jack, she gets the ball rolling. Their investigation leads them straight into suburbia and what they stumble onto in the world of mini-vans and carefully manicured lawns turns the stomachs of even the most seasoned hitmen.
When Bantam advertises this as a thriller they aren't lying... or even exaggerating. Nadia's world is always a thrill ride and a half. Kelley Armstrong is top-notch, as usual, as she takes her readers out of the Otherworld and into the underworld.
Book Summary
The author of the acclaimed Women of the Otherworld series
returns with her latest novel featuring an exciting heroine
with a lethal hidden talent. This time she’s hot on the
trail of a young woman no one else cares about—and a killer
who’s bound to strike again.
Nadia Stafford isn’t
your typical nature lodge owner. An ex-cop with a legal
code all her own, she’s known only as “Dee” to her current
employer: a New York crime family that pays her handsomely
to bump off traitors. But when Nadia discovers that a
troubled teenage employee and her baby have vanished in the
Canadian woods, the memory of a past loss comes back with a
vengeance and her old instincts go into
overdrive.
With her enigmatic mentor, Jack, covering
her back, Nadia unearths sinister clues that point to an
increasingly darker and deadlier mystery. Now, with her
obsession over the case deepening, the only way Nadia can
right the wrongs of the present is to face her own painful
ghosts—and either bury them for good, or die trying.
Because in her book everyone deserves a chance. And
everyone deserves justice.
