About the Book
Newly divorced and with his career in jeopardy, Detective Connor Parks takes solace in the arms of a beautiful woman he meets at a bar. The next morning, Claire Fletcher is gone, leaving nothing behind but an address and a decade-old mystery. The address leads to the Fletcher family home where Claire’s siblings inform Connor that their fifteen-year-old sister was abducted from a city street ten years ago and is presumed dead.
During those ten years, Claire endured the cruel torture and depravity of the man who abducted her. Paralyzed by fear and too ashamed to return to her family, Claire is resigned to her life as Lynn, the identity her abductor forced upon her. Every time she attempts escape or betrays him in the smallest way, someone dies. Even now, her clandestine run-in with Connor Parks may have put his life at risk, as well as the lives of her family.
Connor is convinced that not only is Claire Fletcher alive, but that she is also the woman he met at the bar. Driven to see her again, he begins his own investigation, off the clock and without the police department's consent. He is determined to find her and unravel the mystery of her abduction and odd reemergence. But finding Claire Fletcher proves more dangerous than he anticipates. In fact, it may be deadly.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "Finding Claire Fletcher is a special kind of read. Brutally honest, well-written, gripping - a real page-turner. This is what I like about discovering unknown authors and giving them a try. You are often pleasantly surprised and want more. This is not your normal kind of crime thriller and detective novel. This is something more, something unique. Lisa Regan has created something special with this novel. If you are hooked on suspense this will not disappoint." - Cindy Vine
- "The story of a kidnapped girl is not new to us, and yet Lisa Regan delivers a novel that's powerful and fresh, giving Claire a unique voice that leaps off the page. Even though parts were extremely difficult to read, I kept turning the pages into the wee hours of the night, because I couldn't let Claire go without knowing how it was all going to end." - Jenny (Amazon)
- "[...] I couldn’t help thinking that Lisa Regan must have done a lot of research before writing this book. As well as all the technical information, I’m sure she must have read many interviews or personally interviewed many victims. Her mastery of descriptive and figurative language allows the readers to immerse themselves into the emotions that Claire and the other characters were feeling. They become real people." - Karen Lea
- "Exciting read. I enjoyed every minute of this book. It is suspenseful, but not too graphic so it will appeal to all levels of "suspense" book lovers." - Gretchen Oman
- "[...] This story will frighten you, make you angry, cry, and cringe, but it will also energize your faith in the human spirit and its ability to heal and move forward. Regan deserves every one of these five stars for her original and haunting debut novel." - Story Girl (Amazon)
