On a chilling Minnesota morning, Sarah Pribek comes home to the house she shares with her husband and fellow cop, Michael Shiloh. Shiloh is supposed to be in Virginia, starting his training with the FBI. A seasoned missing-persons investigator, Sarah is used to anxious calls from wives and parents. She's used to innocent explanations that resolve so many of her cases. But from the moment she learns that he never arrived at Quantico, she feels a terrible foreboding. Now, beneath the bed in which they make love, Sarah finds Shiloh's neatly packed bag. And in that instant the cop in her knows: Her husband has disappeared.
Suddenly Sarah finds herself at the beginning of the kind of investigation she has made so often. The kind that she and her ex-partner, Genevieve, solved routinely - until a brutal crime stole Genevieve's daughter and ended her career. The kind that pries open family secrets and hidden lives. For Sarah this investigation will mean going back to the beginning, to Shiloh's religion-steeped childhood in Utah, the rift that separated him from his family - and the one horrifying case that struck them both too close to home. As Sarah turns over more and more unknown ground in her husband's past, she sees her lover and friend change into a stranger before her eyes. And as she moves further down a trail of shocking surprises and bitter revelations, Sarah is about to discover that her worst fear - that Shiloh is dead - may be less painful than what she will learn next.

"Awesome! This is the first of the Sarah Pribeck series and is set in Minnesota. Murder, revenge and you think you know someone. This was a wonderful, intertwined story. Great characters included Shilo, Genevive, Sara, Shilo's family and especially the Blue Earth bartender. This book was lent to me by Tanya. Thanks Tanya - I will be recommending this book to others." — Ann (5 out of 5 stars)

" I liked the twist at the end. The book didn't drag, but it noticeably picked up for me toward the end. "
" This book had so much potential, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It was like riding on choppy waters. "
" I liked this book a lot, kept me guessing till the very end "
" Interesting story about wife whose husband suddenly disappears and how she gets to know him while searching into his past. I felt it could have gone deeper, I wanted more. Weak ending I thought. "
" Good mystery, a lot of suspense, and a great twist at the end of the story. "
" This is the first book by this writer, and it's a promising beginning for a series. The characters are flawed and believable, the ending is surprising, and I sure want to read the her next book. "
" Laura recommended this Minnesota mystery, an unusual ending. "
" I WANTED to like this book, I truly did. There were so many holes in the story you could have driven a mac truck through them. And there were aspects of the story that were annoying as all get out. The way I feel about this book is that I want the time I spent reading this back. "
" Better than "Sympathy Between Humans" "
" This was a really great book. It was sad, disturbing and left me waiting for what happens next! "
" I like Compton's writing. It pulled me into the story and was crisp. And the plot had twists and turns to keep me reading. It didn't get five stars from me, though, because I was taken back by the very ending which leaves the main character in limbo. "
" Wow Excellent. A great choice for It's a Mystery Group. "
" This was a really good book, until the last few pages...which I re-read trying to figure out the ending, and re-read again...and still didn't understand. So a good book with a crappy unclear ending. "
" Book Club pick. Pretty good. Not as shocking as the synopsis would have you believe, but decent. "
" Reading the sequel now. "
" Start of a series and a good read. "
" There are no happy endings in this story. I happen to like happy endings. It is a decent read, but has a depressing ending. "
" Usually don't read fiction but this was entertaining. "
" Could have done without the biblical quotes, but overall a good plot. "
" Bounced around a bit. Didn't care for it "
" The story is fair but the main character, Sara Pribeck, is weak. She's supposed to be a good person who does some bad things but her reasons are just not compelling enough. "
" Very good,very different from the typical series opener...with real surprises in the last twenty pages which auger well for the next installment... "
" I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody - good story but awful dumb ending to the story! Very disappointing! "
" Very good first novel. I look forward to reading her second one. "
