Four years ago, Emily Locke’s life was shattered when her infant daughter and husband were lost in an inexplicable accident. She has nearly rebuilt her fragile mental health when a disgraced former police detective, now working as a private investigator, resurfaces to ask for help in reconnaissance at a Texas skydiving establishment. Emily hesitates to work with Richard Cole again, but she finds she can’t refuse when she learns that the case involves a missing boy.
At Gulf Coast Skydiving, unexpected similarities between Richard’s case and Emily’s troubled past make it increasingly difficult for her to stay objective. Someone at the quiet, rural airstrip knows what happened to the boy, and clues suggest that the same person may have new details about the disappearance of Emily’s own daughter.
“Some smart dialogue and the novelty of a skydiving protagonist.”
Publishers Weekly
“Brady has fashioned an action-packed mystery, using skydiving to good advantage, featuring some truly evil sociopaths, and adding a touch of romance to keep readers turning the pages. A series to watch.”
Booklist
“A tense thriller perfect for mystery libraries.”
Midwest Book Review
“For buffs, it’s a must.”
Kirkus Reviews
" Rachel Brady's debut novel mixes child abduction with skydiving. A whole new vocabulary and life-style for me and it certainly ramped up the action! Great details and plenty of opportunities for Ellie's return. 1st in a new series. "
" This local Texas author will be at the LSC-Tomball Community Library on March 25th from 1-3 pm. This is such a great first book in a series. Loved the style. "
" Although I don't ever expect to sky dive, Rachel held my attention with her exciting plot. I didn't really connect to the characters, though. "
" This book was pretty predictable. It lacked suspense and creativity. It provided an interesting description of sky diving. So if you're a sky-diving enthusiast, you may like it. "
" A fun mystery beach read. "
" Fun to read about skydiving even though I don't want to do it! Intense story. Good reading. "
" This was a thrill a minute. One minute my heart was racing the next it was breaking. Really great story! I can't wait to read by Ms. Brady! Yay for new authors! "
" Wasn't my favorite book but it was decent "
" I got this book from the library and thought it was quite good. Apparently this is her first book and I would definately try another one of her books "
" What happens when a chemist who skydives, plays guitar, juggles kids, and writes puts it all together? Ans. a quick fun read that intrigues the reader and gives a subtle overview of skydiving. A good first book from author Rachel Brady . "
