A Shot In The Dark Sarah Rush

Kepperville, Illinois, was the epitome of small-town, Midwest living, right down to the front porch swings, white picket fences, and peaceful fields of corn. Nothing bad could happen in such a bucolic setting, especially when crime was virtually non-existent. At least that is what everyone thought, until a beautiful, young doctor disappeared under suspicious circumstances one summer night. Overnight, the sleepy city of Kepperville, was propelled into the nation's spotlight for all of the wrong reasons. The case divided the town ever further, when local police determined they would not investigate, since the victim was living on "the wrong side of the law". Outraged at the shoddy police work and refusal of key parties to cooperate, the victim's family descends upon Kepperville, determined to find out what really happened. Sasha Kent had planned to spend the summer working on her new true crime podcast, a part-time reporting gig with the local paper, and helping in her mother's bakery. She was barely holding her the pieces of her own life together, when Sasha found herself unwillingly thrown into the middle of a bungled police investigation. Luke Caspian was helping with his family business in Miami, when he discovered his twin sister had disappeared from the small town she had recently moved to. Without hesitation, he got caught the next flight to Kepperville, determined to assist in the investigation. However, instead of the reception he had expected, he was met with resistance, irritation, and a stubborn refusal to cooperate, especially from the local reporter that was covering his sister's case on her true crime podcast. What will happen to the once peaceful Midwest town when a deeper problem emerges? Can Luke and Sasha work together to solve the case before the kidnappers strike again? Will the sparse clues they are able to find help them find Luke's sister before it's too late? And will their undeniable chemistry survive the fallout from A Shot in the Dark?
