Book Summary:

Frank Sawyer is a wanderer, thriving on the adventure of hitchhiking with no thought for where he’ll end up. His untethered ways have landed him in some perilous situations, and after his recent involvement in solving a deadly mystery, he’s ready to hit the open road to visit his former mission companions on a whim. When he arrives in a small California town, Sawyer finds himself in the midst of what seems to be a rash of runaway teenagers. But with his outsider’s perspective, he senses something sinister in the disappearances of these small-town girls.

Unable to resist helping, Sawyer spends his time getting to know the townspeople and becoming acquainted with local law enforcement—namely, the lovely Deputy Melanie Clark. Together, Sawyer and Melanie follow a baffling trail of clues that lead to a disturbing conclusion: the girls didn’t run away. They were taken. With no distractions and nothing to lose, Sawyer will stop at nothing to find the missing girls and see justice done. But his enemies will do anything to end his involvement in the investigation.

My Review

I was so impressed with Brett Cain's first book, Whiteout, I knew I had to read his next book, Out By Night. It has the same main character who I really like. He is an adventurer, a good samaritan, and a man of God. Frank, though he is a good man, always seems to find trouble in his wanderings. 

This time he winds up in some very nasty business of helping the local authorities hunt down some missing teens that may have been kidnapped. At times. Frank seems larger than life until he gets knocked down really well. This book does discuss God and Frank's religion being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Any Christian would understand his beliefs and feelings. There is plenty of action and stirring heart-thumping scenes to balance everything out in this novel. Frank reminds me of an action hero that saves the day, but always at his own cost. I enjoyed this novel, its twists and turns, the bad guys, and of course his blooming friendship with Deputy Melanie Clark. It's nice to have that thrown in too. I'm glad to see this is a series and I look forward to reading the next installment about Frank and his adventures.
