Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Bay Tanner (9)
Private Investigator Bay Tanner is hired by a young mother desperate to locate her estranged family. Joline Eastman’s daughter is dying of leukemia, and all other sources for a bone-marrow transplant have been exhausted. A yellowing photograph and a handful of wartime letters are the only clues she has to offer. But it’s what she’s not willing to share that may hold the ultimate solution to saving her daughter’s life. Meanwhile, Bay has her own family to worry about. A phone call from Lavinia Smalls, her aging father’s companion and caretaker, sends her rushing to the hospital. A few, whispered words, uttered in a moment of semi-conscious confusion, shatter her world and launch Bay on a quest that will redefine everything she thought she knew about herself. Battling time, Bay and her late husband’s brother, sheriff ’s sergeant Red Tanner, search desperately for Joline’s missing family, only to discover that an old murder and a haunted woman from Bay’s past may hold the key to everything.

Bay Tanner's new client is searching for her two estranged sisters in hopes of finding a bone marrow donor for her daughter. Bay herself is dealing with what may be her father's last illness and her efforts to solve a family mystery it has revealed. Her relationship with her fiance Red Tanner (brother of her late husband) has hit a rocky patch. There are red herrings and blind alleys galore, but eventually all is solved and resolved. The Low Country setting is beautifully described, and the characters behave believably. My only real problem with the book was an error of fact -- Bay's partner Erik supposedly finds out information about one of the client's sisters from the 2000 census. In fact, that census (as far as personal information is concerned) will not be open to anyone -- including law enforcement, the IRS, private investigators, etc. -- until 2072. (Similar information probably is available from credit bureaus and other such databases; but not from the Census.) Otherwise, a fine book. ( )
