(A Mallory Petersen mystery)

Private Investigator Mallory Petersen, a fourth degree black belt with her own taekwondo school in Des Moines, Iowa, splits her time between teaching martial arts and her often inane cases. It's not that she wants bad things to happen to people, but it makes life more interesting when they do.

When Mallory accepts a case to find Cheryl McGee’s kidnapped eight year old daughter, she is pulled into the dark underworld of child pornography. The trail soon leads to the Quad Cities, where Mallory partners with an officer from the Special Case Squad.

As the investigation deepens, Mallory discovers there’s more to the girl's disappearance than her client let on.

This is just wild. No kidding, this book knocks my socks off. - M. Fawcett

Just finished Night Shadows. Think I might need to leave the lights on. - K. Hebert

Started reading your book last night around 7pm and absolutely couldn't put it down! Finished it around midnight. Worst thing was I couldn't turn the lights off. I slept with them on all night. The last book that had that effect on me was the Exorcist. - M. Morgan
