This Boston-based mystery stars smart and sassy Beantown Banner reporter Liz Higgins, who rails at being assigned only light news highlighted in front page teasers. She vows to change that by finding a missing mom and nailing front-page news in the process. Liz's quest takes her into Boston's lively Irish pub/Celtic music scene, the elegant Wellesley landscape, and as far as Fiji. Along the way, she courageously pursues a tangle of clues and falls for two very different men: the enigmatic forensics expert Dr. Cormack Kinnaird and the warmhearted Tom Horton, who pastes ads on the huge billboard that dwarfs Liz's tiny house on the edge of the Mass Pike.

      Herbert, the editor of several mystery anthologies and editor-in-chief of The Oxford Companion to Crime and Mystery Writing, turns that wealth of experience to effective use in her intelligent and thought-provoking mystery debut. Liz Higgins, a feature reporter for the Beantown Banner with hard news aspirations, jumps at the opportunity to help cover the disappearance of Ellen Johansson, who goes missing from her suburban Boston home the week before Christmas in 2000, leaving a blood-spattered kitchen and some conflicting clues. Dogged reporting leads Higgins on a trail that includes Johansson's reading habits, her correspondence with an Israeli pen pal, a chance encounter with a New York City cab driver, and an incident buried in Johansson's childhood. Herbert makes artful use of the looming date of 9/11 as the action builds to an unexpected but satisfying outcome.
