Third Choice — Margot Dalton

In Detective Jackie Kaminsky's newest case, a "perfect family man" vanishes without a trace. Now considering marriage herself, this case is causing Jackie to have serious doubts. After all, if a husband as dependable as John Stevenson can't be trusted, who can?

Missing person? Murder victim? Or murderer?

That's what Spokane detective Jackie Kaminsky must uncover. And all she has to go on is what the distraught young wife can tell her about John Stevenson.

He loves his wife, he's crazy about their four kids and he's got a good job working for an up-and-coming Spokane politician. But one night he went out to get baby formula--and he didn't come back.

Has the "perfect husband and father" simply abandoned his family? Is he somehow connected to the hit-and-run death of his boss's young daughter? Or as Jackie is beginning to suspect, is John's disappearance the perfect decoy for something more sinister?
