Usually a by-the-book cop, Julie has too much at stake, raising her daughter on her own, to break protocoluntil the mall killer pushes her over the line. Instead of kudos for saving his hostage, the Missouri State Criminal Investigation Unit hands Julie cold case duty. Among the forgotten files, she uncovers a disturbing connection between disappearances from years agoall pretty girls, all presumed runaways. Now Julies instincts have her hunting a predator still very much in the picture. Someone who pulls Julie into a harrowing chaseby abducting her own daughter. . . .
