Tami Hoag: Three Great Novels : Guilty as Sin, Night Sins, A Thin Dark Line

Night Sins - when 8-year-old Josh Kirkwood disappears, the community of Deer Lake is stunned.

Crime is just not something that happens in their neighbourhood.

Worse still is the frightening possibility that Josh's disappearance was planned by a desperately warped mind, for all that is found at the crime scene is Josh's duffel bag and a note saying: 'Ignorance is not innocence but SIN'.

Guilty as Sin - Even after the arrest of a suspect for Josh Kirkwood's kidnapping, fear maintains its grip on Deer Lake and unanswered questions linger.

What happened to Josh at the hands of his kidnapper?

Why has he not spoken a word since his return? Is the nightmare over, or is it just beginning? Then a second child is taken, while the prime suspect is in jail...A Thin Dark Line - Pamela Bichon's killer walked free, yet for Deputy Annie Broussard, still haunted by the sight of the mutilated body, the case is far from over.

But pursuing the investigation means teaming up with Nick Fourcade, a man she doesn't trust.

It means suffering vicious harassment from her colleagues, and getting close to a killer...and the closer she gets, the deadlier it becomes...
