River's Shadow: An addictive psychological thriller with a twist
A heart-pounding FBI thriller where the hunter becomes the hunted.
Ten-year-old Sarah Truby disappears without a trace in Charlottesville, Virginia—and the case hits far too close to home for FBI Agent River Collins. Twenty years ago, she was the one who vanished. She survived. Her captor was never caught.
When River learns Sarah had been chatting online with a man posing as her friend, and she realizes this isn’t just one missing child. It’s the gateway into a predator’s network.
The deeper River digs, the more she’s forced to confront the horrors of her own past… and the terrifying possibility that the man who took her is still out there.
Every second counts. Every wrong move could cost Sarah her life—and put River in the crosshairs of the very evil she’s been running from.
Perfect for fans of Mary Stone and Elle Gray, River’s Shadow is a gripping page-turner from bestselling, award-winning author Kate Gable.
Once you start, you won’t be able to stop.

Lots of merging of past trauma suffered by FBI Agent River Collins. Her search for the missing 10 year old girl just brings up memory after memory of the ordeal she went through for two years as a child. Good police procedural, characters and flow to the story. Satisfying ending.
