13-year-old Riley was accidentally left at a huge truck stop while her mom and step-father and step-brother were driving a rented RV to what was to be their new home. When they went to check on her in the bedroom of the RV, they discovered that she wasn't there. They did a quick turn to go back but unfortunately they got involved in an accident delaying their return by several hours. Investigators have their work cut out for them. The massive, bustling truck plaza in the desert is the perfect place for someone to disappear—or be taken. Everyone—from Riley’s mom to her stepdad to her stepbrother and her ex-boyfriend—has something to hide. And their secrets could prove deadly. What did happen to Riley? Did she get tired of fighting with her mom and just take off. Did she make arrangements to meet someone? Was she specifically targeted .. or just a random abduction? And what are the family members hiding ... from the cops and each other? This is full of action ... angst ... suspense from the get-go. What you might see as a typical blended family was anything but. They each have secrets .... but what would they do to keep those secrets from being held up to the light? As I have found from other books by this author, the characters are deftly drawn. The conclusion came as quite a surprise. Many thanks to the author / Joffe Books / Books n All Promotions / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions are unbiased and entirely my own.
