Cleary, North Carolina is a sleepy mountain town-the kind of place where criminal activity is usually limited to parking violations. Not so,lately. Four women have disappeared from cleary over the past two years. And there's always a blue ribbon left near the spot where each of the women was last seen. There are no bodies, no other clues and no suspicions as to who their abductor might be. And now, another woman has disppeared without a trace. It is to this backdrop that Lilly Martin returns to close the sale of her mounation cabin, marking the end of her turbulent eith-year marraige to Dutch Barton,Cleary's chief of police. Dutch's reluctance to ler her go isn't Lilly's only obstacle. As she's trying to outrun a snowstorm,her car skids on the icy road and strikes a man who emerges from the woods on foot. She reconizes the injured man as Ben Tierney, whom she'd met the previous summer. They're forced to wait out the storm in the cabin, but as the hours of their confinement mount, Lilly begins to wonder if the greatest dange to her safety isn't the blizzard outside, but the mysterious man right beside her. Is Ben Tierney the feared abductor? Or is he who he claims to be...her rescuer from harm and from the tragedy that haunts her?
