A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark obsession
and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet Iowa town, from the New
York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence.
For twelve-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it
was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover--movies and Ouija and talking
about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned
rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their
innocent games will have dangerous consequences.
Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and
clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon their small
rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young
girl like Cora--and why? In an investigation that leaves no stone
unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can be trusted--not even
those closest to Cora.
Before She Was Found is a timely and gripping thriller about friendship
and betrayal, about the power of social pressure and the price of
needing to fit in. It is about the great lengths a parent will go to
protect their child and keep them safe--even if that means burying the
truth, no matter the cost.
