She leaves one year old Timmy by himself in the spa's nursery, and when she returns he is missing. A search for the infant proves he is not there, and the family believes he must have been kidnapped. The police and the FBI investigate but there is no ransom demand. Because of this the FBI profiler believes the kidnappers plan to raise the child as their own. Dante and Emily, already having marital problems, drift further apart as Dante holds her responsible for leaving the child in his grandmother's care. Hannah is frustrated by the lack of results by law enforcement, and takes matters into her own hands to find the monster behind the kidnapping.

This is an entertaining who-dun-it which focuses on the family and its relationships. There is an excellent cast of characters, but Hannah is the most outstanding. She is portrayed as a very human being, smart, strong and resourceful, willing to take action when pressured. The subplot involves targeting minors and the dangers of sexual predators on the Internet. The author warns parents to be alert for these dangers.
