Monster in the Closet

The New York Times bestselling author of Every Dark Corner returns to Baltimore, where a father-daughter reunion puts innocent victims in the sights of a stone-cold killer. Private investigator Clay Maynard routinely locates missing children for clients but has nearly given up hope of finding his own daughter, cruelly stolen from him by his ex-wife twenty-three years ago. Equine therapist Taylor Dawson has chosen to intern at Daphne Montgomery-Carters stables so that she can observe the programs security director—her father, Clay Maynard. Trying to reconcile the wonderful man shes getting to know with the monster her mother always described, Taylor never expects to become the target of a real monster, the man who murdered the mother of the little girls she works with at the stable. Neither does she expect to fall for Ford Elkhart, Daphnes handsome son, who is dealing with his own demons. As family and friends gather, Taylor starts to imagine a permanent life in Baltimore with her father and Ford. But not if the real monster in the closet gets to her first.
