Hayley Hope Is Gone

A Totally Gripping and Unputdownable Thriller

Beschreibung

Every small town has its secrets. Lake Arrowhead's run bone-deep. After closing the case that nearly destroyed her career, Special Agent Emily Ray is placed on mandatory leave and retreats to Lake Arrowhead with her father--a mountain town where she spent childhood summers. A peaceful vacation is just what she needs--until she learns about Hayley Hope, a fifteen-year-old girl found drowned in Papoose Lake. When Emily meets Hayley's best friend Lillian Knox, the teen is convinced it was murder. The local sheriff's department dismissed it as a tragic drowning, case closed. But when threatening messages appear, she begins to unravel the small community's web of silence and complicity. As Emily investigates--despite explicit orders not to--she uncovers a web of corruption. Young girls have been disappearing for years--vulnerable teens whose voices were silenced. With only Lillian's testimony and scattered clues to guide her, Emily races against escalating threats. Evidence vanishes, witnesses disappear, and her father's deteriorating health puts him at risk as shadowy figures close in. Emily must uncover the dark truth behind Hayley's death before another girl disappears. The second instalment in the addictive Special Agent Emily Ray series delivers heart-pounding suspense that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Melinda Leigh.

Autor

I am a Californian, a writer, a mom, a dog rescuer, an actor, an activist, a good cook, a mediocre skier and a terrible baker. I am bi-lingual, half Mexican-Central American on my mother's side. I've had a long standing career in the storytelling arts, I hold a BFA in Theatre and a minor in Creative writing from USC. My first novel, Chasing The Jaguar, was nominated for an American Library Association award. I received an Emmy nomination for my work on the iconic TV series, L.A. Law. My screenplay, Beethoven's 7-11, won the Moondance Film Festival Short Screenplay Award; my short screenplay Fly Cherry, won a highly competitive filmmaking grant from PowerUp! and starred Shirley Knight and Sharon Lawrence. I recently co-starred in the PBS film, The Kill Floor, which has won awards at numerous film festivals in the past year. My language arts program, Adelante Arts Collective, works with at-risk teens and in underserved communities. I think using art to understand our lives is in our DNA and it plays a vital role in our social culture. The key to a happy life is finding something you love and doing it every day. And for me that is writing books, along with some good hikes with my dogs. I have dreams of learning to weld, to play the cello and to improve my sewing skills which are abysmal.
