About the Book:

Each day is a struggle for Amanda Gleason’s newborn son as he battles a rare immune deficiency. Justin’s best chance for a cure lies with his father, who was brutally murdered before Amanda even realized she carried his child. Or was he?

One emailed photo changes everything, planting a seed of doubt that Amanda latches onto for dear life: a recent photo of a man who looks exactly like Paul. Could Justin’s father be alive? The mother in her is desperate to find out. But tracking down a ghost when every second counts is not for amateurs.

Forensic Instincts is the one team up for the challenge.

The manhunt is on for the elusive father. Yet the further the team digs into Paul’s past, the more questions are raised about whether the man Amanda fell in love with ever really existed at all.

Dark secrets. Carefully crafted lies. From the Congressional halls of Washington D.C. to exclusive Hamptons manors, there are ruthless people who would stop at nothing to make Forensic Instincts forget about the man Amanda desperately needs to find.

Little do they realize that once Forensic Instincts takes the case, nothing will stop them from uncovering the shocking truth that transcends THE LINE BETWEEN HERE AND GONE.

About the Author:

Andrea Kane’s psychological thriller The Girl Who Disappeared Twice became an instant New York Times bestseller, the latest in a long string of smash hits.  It introduced Forensic Instincts, an eclectic team of maverick investigators, each with different personalities and talents, all with one common bond: a blatant disregard for authority.

With a worldwide following and novels published in more than twenty languages, Kane is also the author of eight romantic thrillers and fourteen historical romances.  She lives in New Jersey with her family, where she is plotting new ways for Forensic Instincts to challenge the status quo. For more information, please check out Andrea’s website at AndreaKane.com.

My Opinion:

This is my second book by Ms. Kane having read the first in the series, The Girl Who Disappeared Twice. In this tale we meet Amanda Gleason who lost the father of her son before he even knew she was pregnant. The baby was born with a rare immune deficiency and needs a bone marrow transplant. Amanda is not a match and the best possibility would be the baby's father - but he is dead, or is he? Just as she is giving up all hope on her child's life a friend sends her a cell phone photo of a man that looks just like Paul - her missing lover. Is it him?

Amanda doesn't know but she does know that she cannot find the answers on her own so she turns to the crack investigators at Forensics Instincts to try and find out what is going on. They have the skills and the resources to track anyone or anything. As they look into Paul's disappearance they discover that those that purport to love Amanda maybe hurting her more than helping her.


I really like the characters that make up the group at Forensics Instincts - they are a lively and distinct group that work together well and in spite of some internal conflicts they come together for the good of the team. The banter between them is fun and the way they get the job done is the reason to read these books. Ms. Kane writes a fast paced, page turning suspense novel even if the sick baby was used a bit too heavy-handedly. I didn't see the ultimate bad guy coming but I will admit to certain suspicions along the way. 


I will look forward to the next adventure and case for this team.
