A crime suspense novel

Pregnant and betrayed, Michigan State Police Detective Samantha Reeves transfers to a small town in northern Michigan, where she is immediately thrust into a case to find a missing teenager. As she delves into the investigation, she becomes suspicious of Derrick Cooper, a pastor visiting from Iowa who claims his haunting dreams and visions of a girl in trouble led him to the area.
