description: Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police Detective . . . mostly. She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work considering the demands of her job. Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion a marriage like his parents have. . . . When Evie arrives in Carin Illinois it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads she unearths a surprising connection . . . possibly to a third cold case. Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County and Sheriff Thane along with his family will be key to those answers.
