In the tomblike silence of an abandoned rock quarry someone is trying to hide their dirty little secret. A secret that is about to be discovered.

FBI Special Agent Maggie O'Dell is just starting a vacation when she gets a call from her friend, psychologist Dr. Gwen Patterson. One of Gwen's patients is missing on a trip to Connecticut. Can Maggie look into Joan Begley's disappearance?

At first Maggie dismisses Gwen's concern. But when the body of a woman is discovered in an abandoned rock quarry in Connecticut, Maggie heads to the small town on "unofficial" business. Soon the shocking news surfaces that more bodies have been discovered, and Maggie is drawn into a case that confounds both local law enforcement and a seasoned criminal profiler like herself.

But where is Joan Begley? Is she in fact the woman discovered buried in the quarry? Or is she the unwilling guest of a killer obsessed with possessing an unimaginable prize from his victims?

Phrynne I just finished this one and it is the best so far. Maggie actually does some police work:)

Finally!


Tracey (trakka) | 1363 comments Good to hear!


Robin (robinmy) | 3527 comments I've read about 2/3 of this one and I agree with Phrynne. It's the best one so far.

I'm just starting.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 12980 comments Mod
Well, it starts with a bang!


Robin (robinmy) | 3527 comments Finished it this morning. Really liked this one.


Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I need to start this one or the Harry Bosch next. Your comments encourage me to give this series another chance :)


Phrynne I think you will find it is worth giving it another chance. However I would ALWAYS read a Harry Bosch book first:)


Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I think I will, Phrynne. For some reason, I can remember the Harry stories better and I need to be ready for both discussions :-)
