Voila:

Roni, a budding journalist and private eye, sees an age-progressed photo of a child that has been missing for the last 10 years and believes it so closely resembles her friend Brian that it opens up a whole investigation for the two of them to find out the truth about this case and it’s possible relation to Brian. Simultaneously, some shadowy figures see a picture of Brian in the newspaper and also believe him to be this particular missing child and will stop at nothing to seek out answers to this decade-long mystery. This third installment in the Bloodwater Mysteries series, behind Snatched (Putnam, 2006) and Skullduggery (Putnam, 2007), is a fun and fast-paced puzzler that covers the issues of mistaken identity, foreign adoption, abandonment, and the difficult choices that parents must make in what they believe to be their child’s best interest. This isn’t a bogged down, confounding tale that is impossible to follow, but rather a breezy and light one with satisfying elements of danger and intrigue that ought to have wide appeal – to those who are diehard mystery fanatics and those who are just getting into the genre. ]
