Plot Summary of Night Sins
"A little boy is kidnapped and a chief of police haunted by his past and a troubled city cop new to the position must work together to find and return the kid."
sarrah, Resident Scholar

"Tami Hoag continues to write some of the most engrossing and engaging thrillers on the market today. Well-drawn characters, intense plots and subplots, and tons of plot twists set against the frigid northern climes of Minnesota.
Hoag's books are consistently well-written and intelligent, emotionally wrought and believable."

Marcus O'Dea, Resident Scholar

"A boy gets kidnapped because his mother forgets to pick him up. All through out the book you come to understand the characters very well and feel a part of the investigation."
Heather Parker, Resident Scholar
