Despite all her years determining the fates of families,
veteran family court judge Hope Willis couldn't save her own. She never saw the
car containing her kidnapped daughter, struggling to get out. Now she's
frantically grasping at anything that might result in Krissy's rescue. Her
husband dead-set against it, she calls Casey Woods, the head of Forensic
Instincts, a renegade team of investigators, with a reputation for doing
whatever it takes to solve life-or-death crimes.
A behaviorist. A techno-wizard. An intuitive. A former Navy
S.E.A.L. A retired FBI Victim Recovery dog. All unconventional operatives. All
with unique talents, skills, and personal reasons for being part of Casey's
team.
Now they're up against what appears to be a precision
kidnapping of a five-year-old. A strange distraction belies Hope Willis'
desperation. Her husband, a cut-throat defense attorney, has a clear agenda of
his own. Together, they have more than their fair share of enemies. Motives and
suspects abound. But beneath the surface, lies a decades-old secret that
threatens Forensic Instincts' investigation, along with any hope of finding
Krissy.
Time is running out, and even with the little girl's life on
the line the authorities are working round the clock within the confines of the
legal system. Casey knows that staying within those confines is not enough. Not
when the difference between bringing Krissy back alive and disappearing forever
could be as shallow as a suspect's rapid breathing, or as deep as Hope's dark
family history.

I have not read Andrea Kane’s books in ages so I was a
little skeptic about reading this forensic style book from her. Surprisingly, I
was entertained, enthralled and totally enjoyed it to the end.
