The third collection of Falcon's Bend Detectives Pete Shasta and Danny Vincent's cases, with Patrol Officer Amber Carfi including: First Sight: Patrol Officer Amber Carfi and her partner on and off the Falcon's Bend Police Department, Warren Jensen, are facing some major life changes. They eloped a month ago, and Amber's not keen on telling her father why she'd deprived him of being present for the event... Amber and Warren are called to the Falcon's Bend High School. Sloane Oligney and high school math teacher Chad Martin are two of the unfortunate hostages of a troubled, violently dangerous student "e;JZ"e; who blames Sloane for his girlfriend Laura breaking up with him. Identity: With his own adopted young son to guide him, Falcon's Bend Police Department Investigator Pete Shasta has been working on a relationship with both of his parents after their traumatizing divorce during his childhood. They're closer than ever before when his father is diagnosed with end-stage cancer. Pete and his brother Jordan know for sure that their younger sister Crystal, whom they'd all lost touch with years ago, should be here with them. When Pete's own investigation into her whereabouts comes up empty, they hire a private detective to find her... Cupid's Romance: ...Dispatch takes a call from a separated-and-on-the-verge-of-divorce newlywed, complaining of a stalker, and Danny's bad premonition gets worse. Rye Iverson doesn't know the person following him, watching his house, sending him strange little notes signed "e;Cupid"e; that insist in no uncertain terms that the Iversons continue the happily-ever-after brought about by the winged messenger of love with its Golden Arrow. Does Rye Iverson know much more than he's divulging? Out of Mind: ...they get a case of a woman who insists she's being pursued by her childhood kidnapper. Hailing from Minnesota, Molly Keane is found hiding on a farm in rural Falcon's Bend and is admitted to the hospital. Though the woman insists she's running from the same kidnapper who tried to take her as a child and her journal gives a vague description of the person in question, Amber and Fergie can't find hide nor hair of the perpetrator. The woman's father tells them this event is fabricated in Molly's very confused head. Since she was five years old and fell down a steep case of stairs, hitting her head and causing a violent concussion, she's suffered from anterograde amnesia and her brain can't form any new memories for longer than 24 hours... Lonely Hearts: Lisa, wife of FBPD investigator Pete Shasta, is trying her hardest to avoid mystery in her very full, busy life. But when her sister-in-law confides her worries about her sister Shelley Wilson, who's had nothing but bad luck with men and has all but abandoned her daughter, Lisa also becomes worried and then downright concerned about Shelley's involvement in a "e;lonely hearts"e; support group, where she falls in love with a man accused of fraud and murder. Is Shelley again a victim or an accessory to organized crime? Assassin: ...A pseudo Christian doomsday cult believes that the World Wide Web is evil. They've set up multiple cells around the world focused on bringing down the internet beast. According to Robert, their ringleader is the most unlikely terrorist in the world--a mouse of a man who actually runs his own successful internet business in Falcon's Bend. Robert is determined to destroy the cult from the inside out...to protect his wife Azure, the daughter of the FBI's Associate Deputy Director, who's not only involved in the cult but has been sent to prove her loyalty to them by killing him...
