Her Book of Shadows Larry D. Marshall

In Her Book of Shadows, a retired cop, Scott Riker, lives with his wife and daughter in Quebec City where he heads a group of interventionists. Directed by Quebec business mogul and philanthropist, Luc Duchesne, the group uses their talents and resources to stand between people in trouble and the criminal elements who would do them harm.

Riker agrees to find a teenage girl, Jodie Burke, whose parents say ran away from their home in Connecticut. When Jodie's friend is found murdered, however, it becomes clear that Riker faces something more than just a runaway girl. He races to find Jodie and prevent whoever is trying to kill her from succeeding.

Riker struggles with his emotional involvement in the case, caused by the similarities between his daughter and Jodie Burke. This, and his attempts to reconcile his risky business with his role as father and husband add to his internal conflicts but maybe the two roles can be compatible.
