The Cold Case
Billy Jo McCabe Mystery Book 3
by Lorhainne Eckhart
Genre: Mystery, Thriller
What happens when you stumble across a case that should never have been
closed?
Detective Mark Friessen uncovers a disturbing mystery: A little girl was
taken, but when evidence disappeared, the case was closed.
While cleaning out closed cases, Mark discovers a file on a missing
toddler, Gabby Martin. After reading the two pages within, he realizes
evidence is missing. The only interviews, by the detective who previously
had Mark’s job, was conducted with a bitter ex-wife and a former business
partner, both of whom pointed at the father.
It appears to have been an open and shut case. The father took Gabby in
retaliation for a bitter custody dispute with her mother, and then he
killed her. Although no body was found, the father was charged and
convicted, and the case was closed.
However, an old woman the town has dubbed Crazy Carla disagrees. She says
she saw everything, and she contradicts the investigating detective’s
notes, yet the local cops pursued only one lead, the father.
As Mark secretly delves into the closed case and realizes that nothing
adds up, he reaches out to social worker Billy Jo McCabe. Did social
services receive any suspicious reports about the girl or her parents?
What Billy Jo soon discovers is a family of secrets, a volatile marriage,
and a forbidden relationship—and the mystery of the missing girl, whose
body has never been found, becomes a case that should never have been
closed.
