Violet Fate - F. Sharon Swope

Private investigator Sam Osborne gets himself mixed up in a case that brings back painful memories of his own son’s disappearance many years ago. He can’t say “no”, however, to Maggie Turner, the violet-eyed beauty frantic to find her daughter Jenna. Maggie and Sam join forces to delve into how Jenna disappeared from a store in broad daylight with no witnesses. Did Maggie’s ex-husband take the child or was it the mysterious neighbor who’d been watching the child? Those two people are on the long list of suspects Sam develops as he tries to follow a cold trail. With Maggie’s help and a road trip to chase down what happened, he’s hoping to catch the criminal, and maybe Maggie’s heart as well.
