Vanished Without a Trace
Attorney Henderson Parker has spent nine years searching for the sister who vanished without explanation. A new lead draws him to Twin Oaks, Virginia, where true-crime podcaster Elle Updike sees the case as both a compelling mystery and a chance to help. Their questions stir up attackers determined to keep the disappearance unresolved, turning investigation into a fight against another abduction. Urgent and emotionally charged, this romantic suspense novel suits readers who enjoy missing-person cold cases, podcast investigators, persistent siblings, and partnerships forged while long-buried danger becomes immediate again.
