For readers of Jodi Picoult, Heather Gudenkauf, and Elizabeth Flock
comes a spellbinding tale of a girl gone missing--and the detective who
will risk everything to find her.
Detective Sergeant Andrea Lawrence is reluctant to take this emotionally
charged case, but she can't help herself. In a small British seaside
community, a fourteen-year-old girl has vanished. Sophie Monroe hasn't
been seen since she fought--loudly, miserably--with her stepmother and
father more than a week ago. But her frantic parents seem to be the only
people concerned about Sophie's disappearance. Everyone else just
assumes that an angry teenager is acting out by hiding for a while.
Did someone help Sophie run away, or abduct her? Either way, Detective
Andee is certain something bad has happened. As Andee investigates, two
men jump to the top of the list of suspects--but neither of them can be
located. And the deeper Andee delves into Sophie's life, the more she
struggles to keep her own darkest fears at bay--because Andee knows all
too well what happens when young girls are lost and never found.
