Hide and Seek

NEWLY UPDATED 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (December, 2021).
2014 ABNA FINALIST
High school history teacher, Baylie Sutter, has it all-a great job, a great home, and for the first time in her life, real friends. When several women close to her are murdered and her former lover is wanted for the crimes, her seemingly perfect world shatters. Her ex disappears, and under a cloud of suspicion, Baylie is forced to leave her job behind and attempt to start over in a new city. Just as she settles in Seattle, scandal finds her again. Her co-worker disappears and the cryptic phone calls begin. The cycle of murder is repeating itself and Baylie finds herself under fire a second time, with nowhere to run and no place to hide. Detective Dylan Stone instantly senses there is more to this compelling woman than meets the eye. A long, painful trip through Baylie's past gradually resurfaces memories locked away so deeply inside the mind of a once traumatized child, they are almost non-existent. Dylan soon discovers that Baylie is the key to a murderer's rage. He finds himself risking not only his job and his sanity, but also his life, to keep her safe.
