Search - Bones (Irene Kelly, Bk 7)

Definitely not a cozy! You have to read this while it's daylight. Great, great read. Edgar Award Winner 2000. — Only one person knows where Julia Sayre is: her killer. Four years ago, the young mother of two disappeared, a story that soon became a personal mission for Irene Kelly. But the search for Julia proved fruitless. Now, on death row for unimaginable acts of torture and murder, inmate Nick Parrish is plea bargaining for a life sentence, promising to lead investigators -- and Irene -- into the dark isolation of the Sierra Nevadas, where they will discover what really happened to Julia Sayre. But Parrish has other terrifying secrets and plans, and now his deadly focus is on a new potential victim -- Irene Kelly.

This one had me literally on the edge of my seat most of the time. A heart-stopping series of chases and hunts in the southern Sierra mountains and a southern California city definitely keep one's attention riveted!
