Evil Without a Face by Jordan Dane ~~
Putting romance on the back burner and the business of catching bad guys first, hard-boiled Chicago bounty hunter Jessica Beckett pursues a personal vendetta against child abuser Lucas Baker. When Baker turns up dead and is linked to a multinational human trafficking organization, Globe Harvest, the cops tag Jess as a possible suspect, but she's already off on another chase, looking for a teen who may have been a Globe Harvest victim. The search takes Jess from Chicago to Alaska, puts her in personal peril that evokes flashbacks to her nightmarish youth and surrounds her with a dazzlingly imaginative supporting cast of characters. Dane pulls out all the stops en route to the dramatic, rose-tinted finale. (From Amazon)

I thought this was her best yet! I can't wait until book two comes out! I read the sampler chapter in the end (I usually avoid them because I don't want a taste of something I can't have for months) and now I want to know what happens!
I only got to read about 16 pgs last night before my eyes closed on me. I can't wait to really get into it later!
