A State Department diplomat must confront the ghosts of her past as she searches for a missing American woman in New Zealand in this pulse-pounding and unputdownable thriller.

Synopsis:

Lake Harlowe may not appear to be your typical State Department diplomat. With the number of skeletons in her closet exceeding the tattoos on her skin, she moves to a new country every few years to keep one step ahead of her personal demons. After two grueling years working in Cambodia, Lake’s desperate for a break and a new posting to sleepy Wellington, New Zealand, seems like a dream come true.

That is, until eighteen-year-old singer-songwriter Bowie Bishop mysteriously vanishes shortly after American NFL player Bruce Walter is found dead in his hotel room. An exchange student from Las Vegas, Bowie was a world away from her possessive, washed-up stage mom who won’t stop calling until Lake finds her superstar daughter.

All at once, Lake finds herself ensnared in a network of deception involving Bowie’s high-profile host family, a shadowy music producer, a casino magnate, and the US ambassador—her boss. Obsessed with finding the truth, Lake soon realizes that to find the missing girl, she must confront her own dark past in this unputdownable thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Review:

With a very modern take on a murder mystery set in New Zealand, this book grabs you from page one and keeps you hooked! How do a football player and an exchange student even know each other? The more she finds out from the student's mother, the more she realizes no one new what was going on in the girl's life, nor what she was hiding. But was she hiding? Or had she told the wrong person and is also dead? The more that Lake pushes, the more she soon realizes that she may have a missing dead body, and the answer to where she is will be from an unexpected source. A roller coaster of a thriller half way through, this book will keep you up all night finishing it! Looking forward to more books from the author!
