The Barnes & Noble Review
Lynn Erickson, bestselling author of On the Edge, starts the suspense early and never lets up in this fast-paced thriller set in the Colorado Rockies. It begins with Ashley Marin, kidnapped at 16 and held for months in an abandoned mine, leaving her with a full-fledged case of claustrophobia. Twenty years later, Ashley is a math teacher and the divorced mother of a rebellious 15-year-old daughter, with an ex who wants full custody. It all seems like a fairly normal modern life until the tormentor from Ashley's past is paroled and her daughter goes missing. Together with retired policeman Chris Judge, who rescued her years ago, Ashley embarks on a desperate search for her daughter that leads both Chris and Ashley to confront secrets of their past and to make a startling discovery.
