The Disappearance of Katy Perkins

At twenty-eight, Piper Quinn is a top notch detective for the Chicago Police Department. Her keen sense of perception, analytical nature, and natural intuition give her a razor sharp edge in the business. But her last case nearly burns her out. Chicago has a serial killer on the loose. Thirteen months on his trail, and seven dead children later, they finally catch the creep. She is sick to death of the whole ugly mess.

When word gets out that the Shorehaven Police Department is looking for a detective to fill in temporarily, she jumps at the chance. It seems like it was meant to be ... they need a detective and she needs a break from the big city. A sleepy little town with a mundane history suits her just fine.

But when Katy Perkins, a local teenager, disappears mysteriously during the annual Halloween Candlelight Hike, Shorehaven becomes anything but mundane. How did Katy disappear virtually into thin air, in the midst of a dozen people, without anyone noticing? One week later, Katy is found sitting in the town square, physically unharmed but in a catatonic state. Where was she for a week? What happened to cause her catatonia? Why was she returned? The case becomes more bizarre by the day.

At the same time, Piper meets Tadhg McGee, best-selling author and all around great guy, and her world escalates into turbo mode. Mr. Right has just walked into her life.

As Piper and her partner, Smitty, work to unravel Katy's mysterious disappearance, evidence of a possible conspiracy begins to emerge, leading them ultimately to the shocking truth behind the disappearance of Katy Perkins.
