A cold-blooded kidnapper has been playing a twisted game with a terrified Minnesota town. Now a respected member of the community sits in jail, accused of a chilling act of evil. But then another boy disappears, triggering panic in tiny Deer Lake. Have the police caught the wrong man? Or is there an even more sinister mind calculating each perverse move?
Prosecutor Ellen North believes she's building a case against the right man--and that he has an accomplice in the shadows. Suddenly she's swept into their dark game, her role changed from hunter to prey. And soon she wonders if she's a match for her opponent...an evil mind as guilty as sin.

I enjoy the characters in all of her books, she's able to write strong women without making them over masculine & tough men with great personality. She's very good at creating twists & turns that keep you guessing everytime you turn the page. Not as good as Ashes to Ashes or Dust to Dust, but worth checking out.

Awesome follow up to "Night Sins". I answered alot of unanswered questions. Tami keeps you guessing and second guessing yourself. I think it would be hard to follow if you didn't read Night Sins first.

This book took me a while to really get into. I kept having the feeling that I had read this book before. I think it was because I have read a few of her other books. I finally came to the conclusion that it was a sequel to another book. If it would have given some background information in the beginning, I wouldn't have been questioning things as I read on.

Great follow up to Night Sins. I love Tami Hoag and this is one of my favorite books by her. Suspenseful, intriguing and unpredictable.

This well-crafted romantic suspense novel by the author of Lucky's Lady (Bantam, 1992) is a tautly written account of life in a small Minnesota town. Megan O'Malley, the first female field officer of the state's criminal investigation bureau, is forced into a close working relationship with Mitch Holt, the town's police chief, when a child goes missing. Against the background of a multijurisdictional criminal investigation, dialog and plot flow smoothly, and elements of romantic tension that serve to define the characters further are seamlessly inserted into the basic mystery/suspense theme. Current news topics, such as the presence of known pedophiles in a community and the problems of childcare in homes with two working parents, help fuel important subplots. The investigatory techniques are all presented intelligently and provide a strong framework for this gripping suspense tale. Highly recommended for current fiction collections.

My cover is different from the one pictured. Josh Kirkwood, 8 years old, has disappeared from hockey practice. The Kirkwood's neighbor, a professor of psychology, is arrested for this evil crime. Is he "guilty as sin?"
