Her husband's pride and joy, Elise Laird is a trophy wife ten years his junior. Rumour has it that she married him for his money. They couldn't be more wrong. When detectives Duncan Hatcher and DeeDee Bowen are summoned to the sumptuous home of Judge Laird in the middle of the night, they know that discretion is key to their investigation - and to keeping their jobs. Elise has shot and killed a burglar in self-defence, but there is something suspicious about the whole affair. Determined to learn the truth, Duncan puts his career - and his integrity - in jeopardy. Then Elise seeks him out and makes an incredible allegation. His first instinct is to dismiss it as the lie of a guilty suspect but then Elise goes missing . . . With non-stop suspense and trademark plot twists, Brown shows her talent for placing her main characters in impossible situations, where one's worst enemy may be one's own conscience . . . and trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death.

All I will say is that it is Sandra Brown. She has writen so many books that she can't go wrong and you won't reget reading it.

Great Read
I really enjoyed the storyline. The characters kept my interest from the beginning. I think that the plot twist was very good and well done. You didn't get lost in trying to keep up with the story or the characters. I like that the setting was in Savannah. It put a kind of atmosphere to the story. I can't explain how much I enjoyed the book. From page 1 to page 385. I could not put it down. I will diffantly be reading this book a 2nd time maybe even a 3rd.
