Dottie loves her job as a Spacette, as do her best friends, Millie and Maggie Sue, but when one of Dottie\u2019s friends is killed in a tragic accident in the Dome a couple of years later, Dottie\u2019s world is turned upside down.  Soon she begins to wonder if her friend\u2019s death was really an accident.  Dottie decides to investigate and within months of starting her search, she disappears without a trace, leaving her family and friends devastated.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly forty years later, Dottie\u2019s teen-aged niece discovers Dottie\u2019s journal, and begins to question what happened to her aunt.  Soon this cold case falls into the laps of amateur sleuths Gina Malloy Tierney, and her aunt, Sister Catherine Malloy. A successful journalist, Gina jumps at the opportunity to research the case, knowing it would make a fascinating story.  What she and her aunt don\u2019t count on is the fact that there is a devious killer, alive and well, prepared to do anything to keep the terrible truth hidden, and their lives will be in jeopardy before they have a chance to solve the Astrodome Murders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also by Diane L.
