Never Really Gone — David Archer

Cassie McGraw is back, and just as tough as ever. When she's approached by a woman whose husband and children had been declared dead more than a year earlier, after a terrible fire that took all of their lives, and asked to find proof that they were actually alive, she was stunned. When the only reason the woman could give for believing that they were alive was the fact that she had been having prophetic dreams all her life, and had dreamed of the children repeatedly, Cassie was actually intrigued. When it turned out that the reason the grieving mother had come to Cassie was because she had once dreamed about her on the exact date when Cassie had suffered her terrible injuries, she was blown away. Doubting that there was really any hope she could find anything to ease the woman's grief, Cassie began working the case, but then she found evidence that the children and their father actually might be alive. Their father had apparently come up with an elaborate plan to make it appear they were dead, and some warped attempt to have the children all to himself. This was a case that would take Cassie to places she had never been, and put everything she loves at risk, but the potential for some sort of a happy ending was too great to pass up.
