18 years ago a young woman was brutally murdered ..... that crime has never been solved. The sheriff at the time had suspects .... one of them his own 16-year-old son. Rather than turn him in, he made an earth shattering decision.

Forward these last 18 years, the deceased sheriff's daughter is a detective, her brother working at the School for the Blind. Their father's decision so many years ago has made a profound difference in the lives of his children.

And then another woman is found dying after being brutally attacked. Another young teenager and her boyfriend go missing. Is there a connection to the first killing? It is up to Detective Rachel Storrow to decide .. and once again, her brother is a possible suspect.

I really liked this book. The characters are firmly fleshed out .. warts and all. Several twists and turns really keep you guessing until almost the very last page. I thought the ending was brilliant.

If you like mysteries, you're sure to like this one!
