BLURB: DECEPTION IN SANDPIPER BAY, the third book in the award-winning Riley Harper Series, is a thrilling page turner that will keep you reading far into the night and keep you guessing until the startling ending. During a Fourth of July celebration on Sandpiper Bay-a small island off the coast of Maine-six-year-old Dante Catalina goes missing. The locals are close-knit and friendly but the sea of new faces-strangers boating in, or arriving by ferry to see the fireworks, hinders the investigation. Riley calls in the FBI. She must separate the tangled threads of deceit to find the truth. Her daughter's guilt adds salt to the wound as she realizes Maria, a woman Riley considers a friend, has been lying-for over twenty years. Every minute is crucial. Every hour Dante is missing potentially puts him farther away from the island. No contact. No ransom note. Who has Dante? And is that young boy still alive? With the help of her partner, Matt, the chief, and a team of FBI heroes, the countdown to find Dante begins.
