Sandra Brown
The St. Louis County Library Foundation and Left Bank Books Present #1 Bestselling Thriller Writer Sandra Brown
Author of “Blood Moon”
#1 bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with another gripping thriller. Detective John Bowie is one misstep away from being fired. Recently divorced and slightly heavy-handed with his liquor, Bowie does all that he can to cope with the mishandling of the investigation of Crissy Mellin, a teenage girl who disappeared more than three years prior. But now, a long-running true crime series is soon to air an episode documenting the unsolved case. As media pressure hits a peak, Bowie must figure out what happened to Crissy and find the true culprit before he acts again.
