Publisher's summary

When NYPD undercover cop Laney Bird's cover is blown in a racketeering case against the Russian mob, she flees the city with her troubled son, Alfie. Now, three years later, she's found the perfect haven in Sylvan, a charming town in upstate New York. But then the unthinkable happens: Her boy vanishes.

Local law enforcement dismisses the 13-year-old as a runaway, but Laney knows better. Alfie would never abandon his special routines and the sanctuary of their home. Could he have been kidnapped - or worse? As a February snowstorm rips through the region, Laney is forced to launch her own investigation, using every trick she learned in her years undercover.

As she digs deeper into the disappearance, Laney learns that Alfie and a friend had been meeting with an older man who himself vanished - after leaving a corpse in his garage. With dawning horror, Laney discovers that he was a confidential informant from a high-profile case she had handled in the past. Although he had never known her real identity, he knows it now - and that means several other enemies do, too. Time is running out, and as Laney's search for her son grows more desperate, everything depends on how good a detective she really is - badge or no.

Fast-Paced and Intriguing

Every parent's nightmare. The high-stakes action begins on page one as single mom Laney Bird's thirteen-year-old son, her only child, goes missing. Since Alfie is on the autism spectrum and has a troubled history including running away, the local cops don't treat his disappearance as a crime. But Laney knows. Cryptic clues. Secrets from Laney's past as an undercover cop in New York City. A deep dive into the mind of a neurodiverse child. Laney keeps digging, and slowly the truth unspools, but can Laney reach her son alive?

A fast-paced and intriguing read.

Okay

This wasn’t the story I expected. From the description I thought the woman and son were hiding from mobsters. Not really the case. I really didn’t like the story much but I did want to know how it ended, so there’s that. I really REALLY disliked the narration. The voice never seemed to match the conversation. And pretty flat. I guess she was hindered by annoying analogies and unbelievable conversations. I don’t recommend it.
