Winter's Child

by Margaret Maron

"It is one month after their wedding and the future looks bright for Judge Deborah Knott and Sheriff's Deputy, Dwight Bryant. That is until a disturbing call from Dwight's eight-year-old son, Cal, brings him back to Virginia. When he arrives, he is shocked to find that his ex-wife has left the boy alone for almost twenty-four hours. Worse, as Dwight tries to confront her, she takes the child, and leaves without a word. As Dwight embarks on his search, Deborah hurries to his side. But will they be able to work together to decipher the ex-wife's motives and, more importantly, rescue Cal before he is harmed?"--Jacket.
