Janice is Missing

Joy Ellis is a reporter who was looking for a great story. Now she has it. But she also has something more important — a mission. She’s decided to do what the entire St.Isidore Police Department has not been able to accomplish — stop a serial killer. But what if he stops her first?

Joy and her protege Amanda become amateur sleuths in their quest to find Janice, a young woman who goes missing after dipping her toes into the online sex industry. Could it be that one of her best customers has gone too far? And is it possible that customer is also responsible for dozens of murders of young women going back decades?

Is it possible this case could cost Sgt. McKenzie his life? And what of Joy and Amanda? This serial killer, if that is what their suspect is, has murdered dozens of young women. Could they be next?
