About this eBook

The unsolved murder of a young activist leads to the discovery of much darker crimes in New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan’s latest compelling thriller to feaure the young, edgy detective Kara Quinn and the loner FBI agent Matt Costa. This time they work to uncover possible ties to a high-stakes cartel in the Southwest desert.

Something mysterious is killing the wildlife in the mountains just south of Tucson. When a college intern turned activist sets out to collect her own evidence, she, too, ends up dead. Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That’s when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.

Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker—greed, child trafficking and more death. As the body count adds up, it’s clear they have stumbled onto much more than they bargained for. Now they must figure out who is at the heart of this mayhem and stop them before more innocent lives are lost.

Don’t miss THE MISSING WITNESS, the brand-new page-turning thriller from New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan!

This is the second book in the Quinn and Costa series and I liked this one more than the first. Costa has for the most part established his team and the plot focused more on the case. Trying to do an undercover operation in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone else is tough, but this is the task. We start off with two crimes which turns into three. Can the team manage them all and who can they trust? While I figured out part of where the book was headed fairly early on, I wasn’t fully sure who was trustworthy and enjoyed the unfolding of the details. This one is a good crime procedural, that is story driven and has good character development.

Very Entertaining!! This second book in the Quinn and Costa series makes a powerful statement about the world we live in. Quinn and his team are sent in to investigate the murder of a activist and discover more than they bargained for. I am an looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Kara and Matt develops in future books. “I’m so screwed,” Matt said. “Oh?” Now Tim was smiling. “Keep this to yourself. It’s…complicated.” “You fell hard, didn’t you. For someone on your squad.” “She wasn’t on my squad when I fell for her.”

This was a complex, multi-faceted, and intriguing tale with haunting issues and a well-crafted writing style that packed a visceral punch without being gruesome. The gripping storylines were unpredictable and needled and poked at my curiosity throughout. The characters were as interesting and complicated as the case they were working and the clever author textured them well with authentic flaws and quirks. I can’t wait to dive into the next in the series as I’m well primed for more of the same of this wily wordsmith’s work.
