Sandra Brown's readers know what she's up to. Her seventy-plus novels, mostly romance and suspense, often contain sly parodies of pop genres. Her current offering begins with a familiar scene: a lawman enters a saloon, orders a drink, and pays no mind to the jeers of the boozed-up yahoos nearby. Brown invites the reader to grin knowingly, only for the scene to turn wonky. The story unfolds from there: a female producer of a true-crime TV show visits Auclair, Louisiana, for a story on unsolved cases of disappearing teenage girls. She finds herself sharing notes with a local cop scarred by betrayal--his boss once wanted a case wrapped quickly: he obeyed, even though he knew it betrayed the victims. Why? He wanted in on the promotion track and its promised a pay increase. Such shots of realism keep the novel anchored in the everyday, as do bursts of nice writing and a couple of steamy sex scenes. The story reminds us what a fine writer Brown is.
