Doris Arnold's daughter is missing, and has been missing for 13 years. Each year she comes alone to the police department on the anniversary of the date her daughter went missing to ask if there have been any new developments in the case. She has not forgotten her daughter and will not allow the police to forget her either.Ted Samuuels is the detective who has inheirted the long cold case of missing 16 year old Stacy Arnold. The daughter of a sitting Senator in D.C., the case had been a media frenzy at the time. But now 13 years later, no one believes they will find Stacy and no one is actively working the case.But something about Doris gets to the detective and he decides to look the case over once again to see if something was missed. After he does, he begins to investigate leading him to a conclusion he never thought possible.This is a book I wanted to give more stars to. I wanted to give it a four or even a five but I am just unable to. Not because the story isn't good, it is, but because the number of grammatical and spelling errors just took so much away from the story and made me stop reading so many times to figure out what was meant, not what was written. As a police procedural it is missing also in the way police investigate and keep notes. Overall, a really good, imaginative story has been overwhelmed by its errors.I will give the author points for imagination, creativity, interesting dialog and a new take on an old story. Hopefully the author will take the time to re-edit and clean up the manuscript.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black Bookmistblueeeyore@gmail.com
