"It seems that a rich and famous author has some valuable statues that keep disappearing from his house. His very secure house. His extremely locked up house that no one goes into except one long-time servant and the author's agent. There have been four robberies in four months and he's distraught about the disappearances. He's filed a police report, but it's not exactly a priority at headquarters." Chuckling softly, she added, "Like I said, sounds like a Sam Osborne case." Sam Osborne and his secretary, Casey Jones, join us once again in the second book of the Sam Osborne Detective Series, where Sam takes on the job of sleuthing out the disappearance of valuable Kuan Yin statues from the home of successful romance novelist Jacob Hardy. Jacob seldom smiled and seldom became angry. In fact, he was very much like one of the statues he collected-cold to the touch, but beautiful in appearance. These statues have been Jacob's solace and inspiration, a gift to himself, and their disappearance has unsettled his very structured life. Rosalie wasn't certain if it was the house or just her nerves, but she was trembling Rosalie McGovern, a typing assistant hired at the suggestion of Jacob's agent, has disrupted his surroundings even more, causing Jacob to question his novels, his life purpose, and most of all, his sheltered heart. Sam puts everyone in Jacob's life on a list of suspects to discover who could be behind the thievery of Jacob's statues, and surprising everyone, something a little Wretched comes along...

Private Investigator Sam Osborne returns in the latest installment of Genilee Swope Parente &amp; F. Sharon Swope's 'Fate' mystery series! This time the case hits close to home, as Sam hurries to unravel the very-public kidnapping of a child... a kidnapping that mirrors his own son's heartbreaking disappearance. Sam's assistant, Casey Jones, wheeled after him into his office and deposited yesterday's mail on the desk. "You have an appointment with Margaret Turner tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock." "Why is that name familiar?" "A couple of years back, her daughter was kidnapped. She paid the ransom and the police and FBI launched an investigation, but never located the child." Sam was frowning now. "I can't help her," he said firmly. It had been fourteen years since his own son, Davie, had disappeared. Despite the fevered investigation he launched, Sam had never found his son and had come across very few clues. Meanwhile, the hunt had cost him his job and contributed to his divorce. His wife blamed him for their loss; he blamed himself. Struggling through his own past, the lingering guilt and sense of failure, Sam is determined that this mother won't be left with these same burdens. Unfortunately, there are far more dirty little secrets in her tranquil hometown than the grief-stricken Maggie Turner ever could have guessed. Everyone, from nosy neighbors to old high school flames to members of a countryside Amish community, seems to be jumping onto the list of suspects. Can Maggie's own ex-husband be trusted? Could there be some mistaken identity at play? Is it blackmail or simply money that the villain wants? Are there other children in danger? And why can't Sam keep his client off his mind? He's never felt less professional... or more hopelessly attracted. With his own self-doubt compounding, can Sam lead authorities to the little girl's rescue in time? Or will he fail her, and her violet-eyed mother, just as he did his own little boy?
