Dangerous Places

Vanished Without A Trace When teenager Heather Young disappeared from the small town of Himmel, Wisconsin, everyone believed that her boyfriend had killed her--though her body was never found. Twenty years later, his little sister Sammy returns to town. She begs her old friend, true crime writer Leah Nash, to prove her brother isn't a murderer. But Sammy has no new evidence, and her brother doesn't want Leah's help. Leah says no--but she can't help feeling guilty about it. That feeling gets much worse when Sammy is killed in a suspicious car accident. That's when the independent, irreverent, unstoppable Leah takes up her cause. Her investigation leads her to some dark and dangerous places, and the truth she finds has an unexpected and shattering impact on her own life. Fans of mysteries featuring strong female protagonists will enjoy following Leah Nash as she navigates storylines full of twists and turns. The series combines the familiar pleasures of a small-town cozy--a cast of recurring characters, a touch of romance, and total immersion in an imaginary small-town setting--with the sharper dialogue and edgier plot of a mystery thriller.
