title: Search and Rescue: A Claire Abbott Mystery (Rapid Reads)
author: Gail Anderson-Dargatz
description: Gr 8 UpClaire is a 20-something young woman with a nose for news. Her incredible instincts have helped her to become a successful reporter, oftentimes arriving for a scoop before the police. On her way to a dinner date, she senses a major story and is sidetracked. A young girl named Amber has gone missing in the woods. When Claire arrives at the search-and-rescue headquarters, she has a psychic vision of where Amber has been taken. When the squad refuses her help based on "visions," Claire must do whatever it takes to make sure that Amber gets home safe. She is a relatable character, and her psychic ability grows at just the right pace for a short series opener. For new adult readers who prefer hi-lo books and reluctant or struggling teen readers.Patrick Tierney, Dr. Martin Luther King Elementary School RI

  Former detective **Lacey Flint** quit the force for a safer, quieter life. Or
  that’s what she thought.
  
  
  Now living alone on her houseboat, she is trying to get over the man she
  loves, undercover detective **Mark Joesbury**. But Mark is missing in action
  and impossible to forget. And danger won’t leave Lacey alone.
  
  
  
  
  
  When she finds a body floating in the river near her home, wrapped in burial
  cloths, she can’t resist asking questions. Who is this woman, and why was she
  hidden in the fast-flowing depths? And who has been delivering unwanted gifts
  to Lacey?
  
  
  Someone is watching Lacey Flint closely.
  
  
  _Someone who knows exactly what makes her tick . . ._
