The review of this Book prepared by Deb Radtke
Quinn Gallagher looked into the sightless eyes of a child killer and felt a law officer's outrage-and a parents nameless dread.
Ellie Weir was released from prison after losing his sight and incarcerated in a once deserted home at the edge of the woods. He is under electronic surveillance, but that doesn't prevent his attack on a ten year old child.
Abigail wanders away from home one day and goes by the fence of the old house where the stranger is. After that, she is snatched away and maybe never to return home again.
Quinn then tries to locate the missing girl and solve the case before it's too late for Abby.
