True story. A mother loses her youngest daughter to murder, after her daughter inadvertently becomes a witness connected to drug-running, gang violence and scandal. The mother doggedly searches for answers and gets more results than the police who are trying to cover up the truth.
Written like a classic Lois Duncan thriller, but horribly true. Ms. Duncan spares no details and places the reader in the middle of her devestated world.

I’m totally engrossed in this book. Well documented and written. Not quite finished and hoping for an amicable ending to this tragedy. Lois Duncan was so brave to write this book but I’m sure was a healing experience. I was impressed the author had the contacts she needed to accomplish this feat.
It could happen to any of us. A mother’s search for her daughter’s killer.
I found this book fascinating. I read several of Lois Duncan’s books when I was younger and I never knew she had lost a child to a violent crime. Rather than curl up into a ball after this tragedy, she fought for justice for her daughter and other victims as well.

Hard to follow.
I liked this book, but it would have been more interesting if the killer could have been found and named at the end.
It was a very intereseting story with twists and turns. Very realistic and interesting. I couldn’t put it down.
