After Rick is exchanged for Madison’s parents by their abductor, Rick warns Madison not to search for him. A stranger provides a hideout until Rick’s abductor is captured. The wilderness setting of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains brings Madison and Rick together in the twisted mix of trust and love, while upholding the law.

Author Bev Freeman jumps into the mystery right away, leaving little doubt that she’s going to keep you hanging on every page. Just when you think everything has been solved, another layer is peeled. Readers who love Appalachian mysteries and suspense won’t be able to put this one down!"
