Resumen del Editor

A Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestseller.

In the fifth book of the multimillion-copy bestselling series, Morgan Dane and Lance Kruger fight for the innocence of a young murder suspect - if only they could find him.

When a retired sheriff’s deputy is shot to death in his home, his troubled teenage stepson, Evan, becomes the prime suspect. Even more incriminating, the boy disappeared from the scene of the crime.

Desperate to find her son, Evan’s mother begs PI Lance Kruger for help. She knows her son is innocent. Kruger and defense attorney Morgan Dane want to believe that too, but the evidence against the boy is damning. Just as the trail goes cold, another deputy vanishes. His shocking connection to Evan’s stepfather throws the investigation into chaos as Lance and Morgan fear the worst...that Evan is the killer’s new target.

With so many secrets to unravel, will Lance and Morgan find him before it’s too late?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A tense, original thriller that perfectly blends the nail-biting suspense and shocks of Silence of the Lambs and Shutter Island.” (John Marrs, best-selling author of When You Disappeared)

Finally a book I enjoyed

Lately I have not been completely satisfied with the books I’ve been getting on audible but this one restored my interest in listening . The narrator is great I enjoyed the book and it kept me going back and wanting more. I hope there is a book 7 soon.

Secrets Never Die

I love this series and audio! I’ve been looking forward to the release of this book and it did not disappoint.

Enjoyed characters

Enjoyed settings, relationships between characters and the suspense of what was going to happen next.

Another hit by Melinda Leigh

A very enjoyable mystery with relatable characters! The narrator did a wonderful job as well. I recommend this book as I do all of this author's books!

Leigh always provides a good mystery!

This was a very interesting book and had great characters. The only thing I didn’t like was the mom in this story. She seemed like she was not that great a person. It’s well worth the read or listen.

Thrilling to the end!

Evan Meade returns home late one night after hanging out with his friends only to witness the brutal murder of his stepfather, a retired deputy sheriff. The 16-year old literally runs for his life with the killer in pursuit. Private Investigator Lance Kruger is called to help by Evan’s mother when she comes home to the carnage and attorney Morgan Dane, his fiancée, accompanies him to the scene. They arrive before law enforcement who makes it clear that Evan is their primary suspect. As Lance and Morgan work to find Evan, they also know finding the actual murderer is paramount to protecting him. However, the deeper they probe, the more confounding and sinister the situation becomes.

The opening of this story was chilling and concern for Evan started immediately. We know he isn’t the killer and that kept me on edge for the rest of the story. It becomes extremely dangerous for Lance, Morgan and fellow investigator Lincoln Sharp who has also involved Olivia Cruz, the reporter who helped them in an earlier case and seems to have attracted Sharp’s attention in a personal way. Things get scary as old connections to Evan’s mother emerge who deserve to be feared.

The pace of the story kept me engaged as there weren’t many decent stopping points. It was exciting and thrilling, though some of the chase scenes got a bit complicated for me. There were softer moments, however, as Lance’s relationship with Morgan’s daughters deepen and he begins to develop paternal bonds. It was a sweet aspect that provided relief to all that tension. I also liked what appears to be something growing between Sharp and Olivia. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving character. As usual, the narrator delivered a fine performance, her storytelling skills put to the test. I enjoyed this one even as it took some time for the facts to unfold.

5th in the series

looking forward to number 6 in the series. will feel sad once the series is over 😢 seems Morga n Lance have become more than characters in a book.

Thrill A Minute

Once again Cris Dukehart (Goodreads Author) (Narrator) does a great job. I love Morgan and Lance and look forward to their next adventure. As always danger stalks the story line as Morgan and Lance work to find a teenager and to prove he is innocent. There are some interesting new characters and a new possibility of a romance for Sharp. Another thrilling adventure that kept me listening.

Great book!

I loved this book, so good. and hard to put down. I love this series.

Another great read

I love her books!! I’m never disappointed when I read a book that she has written!
