Reporter Moira Harrisons is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a confusing detour places her on a rural, wooded road, she’s startled by the sudden appearance of a lone figure caught in the beam of her headlights. Though Moira jams on her brakes, the car careens across the wet pavement–and the solid thump against the side of the vehicle tells her she hit the person before she crashes into a tree on the far side of the road.
A dazed Moira is relieved when a man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then everything fades to black. When she comes to an hour later, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person lying on the side of the road. But she can’t forget the look of terror she saw on the person’s face in the instant before her headlights swung away. The person she hit had been in trouble. She’s sure of it. But she can’t get anyone to believe her story–except a handsome former police detective, now a private eye, who agrees to take on the case.
From the very first page, readers will be hooked into this fast-paced story full of shocking secrets from fan-favorite Irene Hannon. Vanished is the exciting first book in the Private Justice series: Three justice seekers who got burned playing by the rules now have a second chance to make things right.

Summary
Overall I have been a huge fan of Irene Hannon since reading the Heros of Quantico series. After reading Against All Odds, I was compelled to email her. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet her at ICRS in St Louis this year. Vanished is the first book in the new Private Justice series involving three private investigators. Moira is determined to find the woman she thinks she hit on a dark rainy night. Since the police will not open a case, she approaches Phoenix Investigations. Cal is one of the three owners and takes her case. Vanished is a romantic suspense and stands on its own, although part of the series,. The story is fast past and each character is well developed especially our surprisingly complicated villain. Irene intersperses details throughout the story to keep you turning the pages. She also introduces complex moral issues do the ends justify the means. A few of my favorite lines: “Had she stepped into a romance novel or what?” “I’ll be yours through all the years till the end of time… Elvis Presley” I recommend this book ; especially if you are fans of romantic suspense and authors like Dee Henderson, Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey. I would also
recommend this book for a book club discussion.
Violence There is some violence and some deaths.
