Missing Pieces

Doubleday / 1997

How far will a mother go to protect her family from a madman?

It had to end in blood. Family therapist Kate Sinclair, healer of lost souls, perfect wife and mother, has suddenly become trapped in a nightmare of her own. Her teenage daughter has just discovered sex, lies and rebellion. Her ex-boyfriend has returned to threaten her marriage. Her once peaceful hometown is being awakened by chilling headlines: Another woman is missing.

Kate can sense the darkness gathering around her, can see the mistakes, the missteps, the missing pieces.
