From the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses' snug little bungalow, instinct tells her that something is seriously off with the wholesome image the couple has worked so hard to create. With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and a media firestorm building, D.D. must decide whether Jason Jones is hiding his guilt or just trying to hide. But first she must stand between a potential killer and his next victim, an innocent child who may have seen too much.
