“Love Lisa Gardner's books. Real page-turners - a good tense thriller.

Back Cover Blurb:
For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it's the beginning of his worst nightmare. A car has just been found abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, a woman's purse on the driver's seat. And the driver of that car, his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, has vanished without a trace.
Did one of the ghosts from Rainie's troubled past catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be conncected to a vicious double homicide they'd been investigating? One man knows what happened that night. And if he doesn't get what he want, Rainie will be gone for good. Now, as a terrifying deadline nears, Pierce plunges into the most desperate hunt of his life, in search of a killer, a lethal truth, and the love of his life. But getting back what he's lost may be murder.”
“When someone you love vanishes without a trace, how far would you go to get them back? For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it’s the beginning of his worst nightmare: a car abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, purse on the driver’s seat. And his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, gone, leaving no clue to her fate. Did one of the ghosts from Rainie’s troubled past finally catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be the result of one of the cases they’d been working–a particularly vicious double homicide or the possible abuse of a deeply disturbed child Rainie took too close to heart? Together with his daughter, FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, Pierce is battling the local authorities, racing against time, and frantically searching for answers to all the questions he’s been afraid to ask. One man knows what happened that night. Adopting the alias of a killer caught eighty years before, he has already contacted the press. His terms are clear: he wants money, he wants power, he wants celebrity. And if he doesn’t get what he wants, Rainie will be gone for good. Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, it’s still not enough. As the clock winds down on a terrifying deadline, Pierce plunges headlong into the most desperate hunt of his life, into the shattering search for a killer, a lethal truth, and for the love of his life, who may forever be…gone.”

“I didn't love this book as much as I loved "Say Good-bye" by Gardner. I felt it lack some emotional punch.

Still the book was edgy. I do think I'm going to have to pick up the first book by Gardner and work my way through so the I know all the characters.”
“Great book - one of my new favorite authors”

There was a good cast of characters that were possible suspects. I did not guess the correct suspect until near the end of the book.
The characters were rather shallowly drawn. There was a seven or eight year old child involved in the story. The author's dialogue between the protagonist and the child did not ring true. I know boys of that age and a lot of the dialogue was made up to fit the story line. I don't think real boys of that age would probably react to or talk in the situations that were written.
