This book is everything that a suspense mystery should be.  It will have you in its grip from the start, never letting go, always tightening its hold.There is a seed of thought, never stated yet continually present, which will haunt you.  And it will grow more and more intense, until about half-way through you are told that that seed of thought was intended.That the worst nightmare that could possibly haunt a police investigator has become a reality for the prime investigator of this story.  And the author then ensures that you feel every bit of her fear, every drop of her pain.  And you find yourself collapsing right along with  her as this tragic and horrific reality sets in.This book should become a classic of the genre; it is expertly written, meeting and exceeding all expectations for the genre.And saying much more cannot be done without spoilers ensuing -- I nearly could not find a way to say as much as I did without spoiling!  New doors open, while others close.  To even tell where openings occur would, by nature, define the closures:  it would rob you of the emotions associated with those changes.  I will reveal that the greatest surprise of all occurs after the investigation meets closure; it will quite literally tie your stomach in knots and make you sick.  You'll be praying that the story is fiction (especially after noting the dedication).This is a definite must read book.
