When tough, smart ex-cop Rainie Conner is nowhere to be found after leaving her car running with the door open on a rainy night on a back road in Bakersville, Oregon, her husband of two years Quincy Pierce, a retired FBI profiler, fears the worst. This incident is only the latest bad news for Quincy as Rainie has of late been devastated concerning an unsolved case involving the cruel murder of a young girl and her mother, which has led to her resumption of drinking and an estrangement from Quincy.

But soon a ransom note arrives at the local newspaper. But why Rainie? Is this a random kidnapping? Or is there something in her past that has led to this. It was just a few years ago that she confessed to killing a man while a teenager in self-defense and hiding the body for nearly fifteen years. Is revenge now being sought? More recently Rainie has been investigating a situation where a troubled young boy has accused a foster parent of abusing him. Is there a connection? The author ratchets up the action as any number of locals could be connected with Rainie's disappearance, but the kidnapper's incessant demands make it a real scramble to pursue all of these possibilities.
