Predator or prey? On the Internet, how can you tell? When private investigator Abby Maxon answers a call for help from an old college friend, she never expects to find herself searching for a missing teenage girl. Abby investigates accidents and tracks down reluctant witnesses for a living. The last thing she wants is to get involved in a missing person case, especially when that case leads to murder. Pretty fifteen-year-old Rachel Ellison got in over her head when she played a flirtatious online game of "let's pretend" with a married man. Now Rachel's dead and Abby's old college friend is the prime suspect. The only clue to the identity of Rachel's killer is a ceramic horse missing from the dead girl's bedroom. Online chat rooms can be a dangerous place for the unwary. Including Abby's own teenage daughter, another pretty fifteen-year-old who wants to meet a boy she's only talked to online. "In Private Investigator Abby Maxon, Annie Reed has created a believable, sympathetic character readers can relate to. I can't wait to read Abby's next adventure!" -Marcelle Dubé, award-winning author of
