When three young girls go missing, rookie police officer Sassy Jones is assigned to create a profile of the abductor. Seeing the case as an opportunity to establish herself professionally, she immerses herself in her work, but soon worries about her personal life lead her off-track.

Twenty-five years later when her ex-husband, Carl, commits suicide, he leaves behind photos linking him to the abductions. While Sassy, now a homicide detective, is put on suspension pending an investigation into the initial case, her former partner returns from a leave of absence to investigate the connection between Carl and the possible kidnappings and murders of thirty-three more girls.

Complicating matters, Chief Investigator for the New Orleans' Coroner's Office Stan Lecher-whose daughter was the kidnapper's last victim-begins his own secret investigation into what happened twenty fives years earlier how much Sassy actually knew about her ex-husband's role in the kidnappings.

"Echoes" is the second book featuring detectives Michel Doucette and Alexandra "Sassy" Jones. The first book, "The Quarter Boys," was published in May 2010.
