Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to crime fiction that digs into a detective's psychology as much as the case itself.
You've read Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series and want to understand her backstory before book one.
You like procedurals with real emotional stakes, where solving the case means the protagonist has to suffer.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer light mysteries without trauma or dark subject matter.
You want a complete standalone; this is explicitly a prequel that works best with series knowledge.
You're not interested in stories involving missing children or child endangerment.

About this book

This short-story prequel to the Bree Taggert series follows detective Bree Taggert and her new partner, veteran detective Dana Romano, as they respond to a shooting. A man has been shot in the head, and when they notify his ex-wife, they learn that their five-year-old daughter was supposed to be with him at the time. What begins as a murder investigation quickly becomes a search for the missing child. The case triggers memories of Bree's own traumatic childhood experiences. To locate the little girl, Bree must confront her own frightening past.
