Last seen alone / Laura Griffin.

Griffin, Laura, 1973- (author.).

Summary:

"Up-and-coming attorney Leigh Larson fights for victims of sexual extortion, harassment, and online abuse. She is not afraid to go after the sleaziest targets to get payback for her clients. Leigh is laser-focused on her career--to the exclusion of everything else--until a seemingly routine case and a determined cop turn her world upside down. Austin homicide detective Brandon Reynolds is no stranger to midnight callouts. But when he gets summoned to an abandoned car on a desolate road, he quickly realizes he's dealing with an unusual crime scene. A pool of blood in the nearby woods suggests a brutal homicide. But where is the victim? The vehicle is registered to twenty-six-year-old Vanessa Adams. Searching the car, all Brandon finds is a smear of blood and a business card for Leigh Larson, attorney-at-law. Vanessa had hired Leigh just before her disappearance, but Leigh has no leads on who could have wanted her dead. Faced with bewildering evidence and shocking twists, Leigh and Brandon must work against the clock to chase down a ruthless criminal who is out for vengeance."--Page 4 of cover.

Publishers Weekly Review

Last Seen Alone

Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Bestseller Griffin (Flight) delivers a pulse-pounding romantic thriller. Vanessa Adams's car is found abandoned along with her purse and phone. A smear of blood on the car door indicates foul play, and soon Austin homicide detective Brandon Reynolds is on the case. Brandon finds a lead when he discovers lawyer Leigh Larson's business card among Vanessa's things. Leigh specializes in sexual assault and harassment cases, but Vanessa was a relatively new client who hadn't disclosed much about her troubles before disappearing. Still, Leigh's eager to help and joins Brandon's investigation, giving rise to off-the-charts chemistry. Together they discover that all of Vanessa's ex-boyfriends have viable motives--especially creepy doctor Mason Lloyd. But when Leigh is attacked in her office, Brandon questions who the killer is really after. Griffin skillfully juggles suspense and romance right up until the adrenaline-fueled final page. A timely subplot about revenge porn may be triggering for some readers, but Griffin handles the thorny subject well. This is sure to keep readers guessing. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary. (Sept.)
