Depth of Depravity (Used Paperback) - Nancy Steedle

Following an incident of sexual harassment, Jules Cleary, a newly-minted detective with the Pittsburgh Police Department, decides it’s time to move on. Hoping to find a slower-paced atmosphere and get away from the stress of the big city job, she accepts a position in the town of Sylvan Creek, a sleepy borough about fifty miles east of downtown Pittsburgh.
However, the peace and tranquility she experienced in her first few months comes to a screeching halt when Melanie Taylor, an eleven-year-old girl goes missing with no leads or clues. Six miles from the nearest highway, Sylvan Creek is not a town you drive through to go somewhere else. Jules’ gut tells her the kidnapping wasn’t a random act. She’s convinced the girl was targeted, but who would know that Melanie would be home alone at that specific time?

When days after the girl’s disappearance, they find a body dumped on a hillside in town and a Sylvan Creek patrol officer is forced off the road in a killer snowstorm, Jules realizes they may all be in danger.
