Two Nights: A Novel by Kathy Reichs    416 pages

Sunday "Sunnie" Night is an ex-cop.  She is tough as nails but after her last case encounter that left her shot in the eye losing her vision, she left the force but antsy to catch bad guys she went in to private investigation.   This story is a case she takes on in her new life as a P.I.   She goes under contract to a multi-rich family looking for their missing granddaughter.  The girl tied in with a less than trustworthy man who may have either spirited her away from the family, though, he is so shady, it is a mystery why he wouldn't want to bilk the family of their money or he may have been involved with a sex-slave ring and hoodwinked her into going with him and the skallywag betrayed her trust and sold her into bondage.  Lots going on and Sunnie is not one to be told how to handle her investigation even if someone is footing all the bills.  Her search for the girl takes her on a twisty trail with suspects aplenty.   Sunnie feels a kinship to the missing girl, thinking what she may be going through.  And because Sunny has experienced her own particular hell coming up, she won't stop until she finds the girl, her abductors and the reason for her capture.    A hard hitting bit of literature here.   Sunnie is likeable as is her cohorts.   Her tenacity is admirable and throughout the reader is let into the thoughts of the missing girl and what she is going through.  Good book.   I recommend this one to adults.   The story is just a bit creepy.
