In a Dark House (Large print, Hardcover, large type edition)

An abandoned warehouse is burning next door to a women's shelter, an apparent case of arson. But it is the charred corpse within -- a female body burned beyond all recognition -- combined with the political sensitivity of the case that entangles Supt. Duncan Kincaid in its twisted skein. At the same time, Kincaid's former partner, Gemma James, is coping with twin crises of her own. Embroiled in a bitter custody battle, Gemma must put her private concerns aside to investigate the disappearance of a hospital administrator -- a beautiful, emotionally fragile woman -- who vanished without a trace. Neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely their cases are connected, or how important their resolutions will be for a young child abducted, alone and frightened, and kept in a dark house.
