"Morgan had chaired
the book group for two and a half years but had no idea why most of 'her boys' were behind bars. Prison etiquette
was strict-don't ask, don't tell-but nobody needed to enquire why Danny
Kilcannon was serving a life sentence. Although never a household name, his
face was vaguely familiar even before the trial. A carpenter by trade, he'd
earned a few quid as a T.V. extra, graduation to a single speaking part as a
murderous priest in a BBC drama. During his trial , the role had been a gift to
tabloid editors casting around for a nickname. To the world at large, Danny was
now 'Killer-cannon.' Except in here......."
This mystery thriller
takes place in England. A journalist named Morgan Vine has been actively trying
to seek the release of a child hood friend, Danny Kilcannon. He was accused of
murdering his step daughter and causing the disappearance of his wife, if not
also her murder. She found a way to see him in prison. Everyone knows the
lengths she went to help him win his release.
The story takes turn when
Danny is released and Morgan's teen daughter also disappears within days of
meeting Danny. Should Morgan have listened to everyone else? Is Danny innocent
or did he take her 18 year old, Lissa? While Morgan continues to hunt for Lissa
she also shadows Danny's life to see if she can uncover anything that will
either prove once and for all that he's innocent or that perhaps he really is
guilty.
She has a few friends,
some mysterious messages and a lousy job she's willing to give up. Morgan also
has a past of things with her family that may cloud her thinking. Can she find
Lissa? Can she find out the truth about Danny "The Killer-cannon" Kilcannon?
Is his wife Rowena alive or dead? Who is leaving her messages? Is it someone
close or a stranger?
A steady, exciting pace. Lots
of twists in this mystery you won't see coming. Not predictable! I enjoy this
kind of complicated mystery. You won't stop reading until you find out what happened
to Lissa or Danny and his family.
Was Morgan wrong to trust
her child hood friend? Will she lose everything she loves or gain something in
the end? Did she help a killer go free? Could someone really disappear "Without
Trace" or could they commit murder "Without Trace?" Read and
find out!
