If she is not found within that time limit, statistics indicate she will not be found at all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis novel explores the seedy side of kidnappers who take children with no concern other than the amount of money they will make.  It looks at the heartbreak of the families of the taken.  And it uncovers the investigative techniques used to  trace those involved.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Never Again, one of Smith’s four mystery novels, there’s plenty of evidence for Detective Prescott as he expands the search for Sandy, but there are no suspects…and…the clock ticks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt from Never Again: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the outskirts of town, there is a dilapidated farmhouse, a one-hundred-year-old barn, old sheds, and rusting farming equipment sitting on 30 acres.  Most people don’t even think about it anymore.  It’s just there, continuing to deteriorate.  In fact, it is so far removed from the town that if anyone should be locked in the storm cellar of the barn and scream for help—no one would hear.","brand":"Preston Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081748857072,"sku":"2940012683632","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012683632_p0.jpg?v=1763571309","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012683632","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
