Israel, Susan. Delilah Price mystery series #book 2

A struggling artist and substitute teacher in New York City crosses paths with a predator: "A compelling and twist-fueled plot" (Doug Corleone, author of Good as Gone). Delilah Price is still dealing with the consequences of her recent abduction, but she needs to keep her life on track. In order to survive as an artist in New York City, she's taken an assignment as a substitute teacher. Meanwhile, Detective Patrick Quick has taken up a big place in Delilah's life. That is, when he isn't consumed by a case. And right now the case that is taking Quick away from Delilah involves a serial rapist and is striking very close to home. On her way to her first day of work, Delilah witnesses a young girl falling in front of a subway train-or was she pushed? The victim turns out to have been a student at the middle school where Delilah is set to teach, and the teacher she's subbing for is a missing person herself. As Delilah gets to know her students and befriends a teacher on staff, she realizes that many have been hiding dark secrets that suggest abuse and worse. And when yet another girl who has hinted strongly that she was abused is a no-show to class, Delilah stops counting on police help and follows leads on her own-which puts a dangerous predator on her trail
