Searching the crime scene, Madison finds the last thing she ever expected: a note proving the cases are linked. When she finally finds the knife used to harm Nikki, Madison knows she is closing in on a twisted killer. But the last person she expects to see dragged into the police department in handcuffs is her own missing son…

Little Girl Taken:
