Another trip into the sleep town of Oak Knoll CA. Populated by characters from the first two books set there (Deeper Than The Dead & Secrets To The Grave) this time around we are given a question of right vs lawful.
Lauren and her daughter Leah are living in the Oak Knoll home of
friends after having left San Diego. Four years prior Lauren’s older
daughter Leslie was abducted and has never been found. Then her husband
killed himself. Oak Knoll seemed like a place to get a fresh start. Or
is it? Lauren and even the San Diego detective on Leslie’s case know who
is responsible but he has been so careful they can’t prove it. Now he
is back, in Oak Knoll. Lauren is at the point where she feels like the
only recourse she has is to take matters into her own hands.
What follows is typical Tami Hoag mastery in spinning a tale that
cranks up the tension until the final moments. This time laced with the
question of if it’s ok to defend yourself and your family by any means
necessary when those who are supposed to can’t.
