One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?
AND HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO . . .
As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper’s mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?
. . . TO SAVE HER?
For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened. She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be made to pay.
Love you more . . .
D. D. Warren is back with a case that really tests her mentally and physically. Told in the voices of DD and Tessa, it is non-stop action with twists and turns that kept me reading long into the night. I look forward to the next challenge in D.D.'s life!Author: Lisa Gardner

This one kept you reading,very exciting.
Sounds intense. Ok one day I will try the genre, one day ;)
Oops..this is a series???? A friend gave me her ARC but if I need to read something before this one then I better do that right??? Or is this one O.K. as a stand alone?
I rated this the same as you. I was a little disappointed by the ending:(
I loved this book too & cannot wait for her next book. No one keeps me riveted without grossing me out like Lisa Gardner!
My review
I really really need to start this series. It looks so good.
Can you believe I I haven't read Gardner? This sounds great.
I loved this one too! So GOOD!
I've never read a Gardner book but have heard many good things about them. Thansk for the review and recommendation.
