V. J. Dixon was a playful sort, and the Labor Day weekend would be a perfect time to bond with his two sons, Jeff and Tyler. Dixon's new girlfriend, Mariel Hartman, had slipped seamlessly into the lives of the Dixon's; all three still smarting from the untimely "cafe coronary" death of wife and mother Sharon Dixon.

A treasure hunt, promising to be a centerpiece of the three-day end-of-summer celebration, goes terribly awry when the greatest fear of any parent strikes in the woods of Lincoln Park. A little boy is now missing, and it will be up to Port Angeles, Washington, police investigator Jeremy Dedrickson to find him.

Populated with Vin Smith's fascinating characters, Lincoln Park crackles with dialogue in a story both timeless and timely.

"Tremendous new release by what is destined to be one of America's great writers. Vin Smith absolutely nails the fear and confusion that parents experience when a child is abducted." Mathematics Books.org
