WHAT YOU SEE
Hank Phillippi Ryan weaves another taut and surprising tale in What You See, the fourth Jane Ryland novel of suspense. This time, the ripped-from-the-headlines peg is those secret surveillance cameras that seem to be everywhere—and the videos that can ruin lives when they become public. It’s also a look inside bitterly manipulative custody disputes and the intense emotions that spur parents to protect their children at all costs.
Why would a father abduct his own child? A wedding is planned in Jane Ryland's family, but there's a disaster instead. Nine-year-old Gracie-supposed to be the flower girl-has been taken by her stepdad. Where are they? Is the girl in danger? Reporter Jane Ryland learns there's a limit to the bonds of family-and learns to her peril what happens when loved ones are pushed too far.
Meanwhile, Detective Jake Brogan's got a doozy of a case. At Boston's historic Faneuil Hall, a man is stabbed to death in front of a crowd of tourists snapping photos of the murder on their cell phones. Solving the case should be easy, but the pictures and surveillance video lead him to a dark conspiracy of extortion and stolen lives.
Jane and Jake must explore where their loyalties lie-to each other? To their families? To their careers? If they make the wrong decision, the consequences could be fatal.
Hank Phillippi Ryan received the Mary Higgins Clark Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Book 1 of this series, then won the Agatha Award for Contemporary Novel and RWA’s Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense for Book 2.
