Asylum Harbor and Burn Out: Library Edition (The Rachel Scott Adventures)

This compendium of bestselling author Traci Hohenstein’s Asylum Harbor and Burn Out presents Florida Omni Search founder Rachel Scott in pursuit of two high-intensity missing-persons cases.

In Asylum Harbor, we meet Amber Knowles, a beautiful high school senior and Florida governor John Knowles’s daughter, who disappears during a cruise to the Bahamas. When Governor Knowles realizes his daughter has vanished without a trace, he seeks Rachel’s help.

The teenager’s disappearance represents every parent’s worst fear, and Rachel knows only too well what losing a daughter feels like. Her three-year-old, Mallory, went missing five years before Asylum Harbor. As she works with FBI special agent, Drake Reynolds, Rachel discovers an organized crime ring linked to the cruise line. The last person known to see Amber aboard the ship was an incognito DEA agent, who also has vanished. Where is he? And where is Amber? Finally, where is Mallory?

In Burn Out, the second Rachel Scott Adventure, firefighter Lieutenant Samantha Collins vanishes while combating a warehouse blaze, leaving only her helmet behind. Sam’s mother seeks Florida Omni Search’s expert help, but Rachel can’t possibly anticipate how terrifying the Sam Collins case will be. Sam’s husband’s drug operation introduces perilous dimensions to the case. Has Sam been kidnapped? Has she fled amidst the criminal investigation? Rachel moves through the case methodically and uncovers clues that could reveal what happened to her own daughter. Through both adventures, suspense and action are at a premium.
