Stranger in Town, a Shamus Award Finalist for Best Private Eye Novel of the Year, and a heart-pounding mystery that grips you from the first page and doesn't let go...
One moment Olivia was there. The next, she was gone.

In the heart of small-town Wyoming, Maybelle's Market bustles with its usual morning crowd -- families shopping, neighbors chatting, children playing. But the ordinary turns to chaos when a frantic mother begins tearing through the aisles, screaming as she searches for her missing daughter.

But six-year-old Olivia has vanished without a trace.

Within minutes, law enforcement is on the scene, but it's too late. Olivia is gone -- taken by an unknown stranger. And as each hour ticks by, the chances of finding her slip further away.

When Private Investigator Sloane Monroe is hired to investigate, what she uncovers is far more disturbing than anyone expected. This wasn't a crime of opportunity. It was planned... calculated... personal.

Now, Sloane must race against time, following a trail that grows colder by the hour. And in a case where nothing is as it seems, Sloane will put her own life on the line to save the child before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of authors like Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and Robert Dugoni.
