Stranger Danger
A Lauren Beck Crime Novel #3
LAUREN BECK LEFT the police force for personal reasons. Crime didn’t get the memo.
Longing for the closeness they had while she was recovering from Hodgkin’s disease, Lauren drives cross-country to visit her father and his new wife, Ana. Getting mugged on their doorstep is worrisome enough. Learning that Ana has inexplicably disappeared—devastating!
Several young girls have also gone missing, prompting the haunting memory of an abducted child Lauren was too late to save. For her father’s sake, and her own, the young ex-cop would love to help any way she can. Yet she has scarcely begun before an irate criminal strikes back.
This edgy third book in the Writer’s Digest-awarded Lauren Beck mystery/crime/thriller series can also stand alone. If you like scrappy heroines, nail-biting suspense, and twisted mysteries, you’ll love this white-knuckle manhunt.
