Books in the Jessica Shaw series

Private investigator Jessica Shaw and her partner Matt Connor discover a link between a series of kidnapped women, all taken from along the same highway, and a group of former college friends. But no sooner do they follow this up than one of the kidnapped women's parents gets spooked and drops the case. Jessica is blindsided, but she's determined not to give up: three women are missing, and many more may be at risk. Jessica can't turn her back on them.

"Private investigator Jessica Shaw is leading a quiet life in a Californian desert community, where she spends her days working low-level cases. But when a former resident asks Jessica to help her sister, Rue Hunter, a convicted murderer whose execution is days away, Jessica can't resist the offer. Rue doesn't remember what happened the night two high school students were killed thirty years ago, but everybody in town is certain she's guilty. As Jessica looks for answers, she finds that local rumors point one way and evidence points another. And nobody wants to face the truth. Meanwhile, Jessica can't shake the feeling that someone is stalking her. Now more than ever, she knows she can't trust anyone."--Back cover.
