Hubbard, S. W.

The remote village of Trout Run lies inside New York's vast Adirondack Park, a tiny community cloistered within deep forests and rugged mountains. You can drive for miles without seeing another soul--so when high school senior Janelle Harvey vanishes while walking home along a lonely forest road, only the trees are mute witnesses to her disappearance. Police Chief Frank Bennett is new to Trout Run, and he's determined not to make another mistake in judgment like the one that cost him his previous job.

Frank Bennett, the tacitum police chief of the remote village of Trout Run, New York, returns in the second installment of S.W. Hubbard's compelling mystery series. The sudden death of Mary Pat Sheehan creates havoc in the small Adirondack mountain town of Trout Run. People are stunned to learn that Mary Pat died from childbirth complications, since no one knew she was pregnant. Police Chief Frank Bennett soon discovers Mary Pat was involved with a black market adoption organization...but where is her baby?
