| Publisher Description: When a call from his daughter, Katie, interrupts his much-needed vacation, Detective Wade Jackson knows it's bad news. As Katie tearfully announces that her mom--Jackson's ex-wife, Renee--is missing, Jackson suspects alcoholic Renee has climbed back inside the bottle that destroyed their marriage. But the truth is far worse: kidnappers have snatched Renee and are demanding ransom from her wealthy fianc . The very same night, someone dumps a savagely beaten University of Oregon coed on the doorstep of the ER. Jackson's prot g , Detective Lara Evans, must identify the unconscious victim, then track down the assailant with no leads to go on...except the whispered rumor of a secret sorority. Meanwhile, Eugene's new FBI liaison, Agent Carla River, takes charge of Renee's high-tech ransom operation while Jackson comforts his distressed daughter and retraces the steps of the mother she holds dear. But as the rescue takes a deadly twist and the suspects seem willing to let Renee die rather than crack under interrogation, Jackson worries that Katie will never forgive him if her mother is lost forever. |
