Chloe Cates is missing. The 13-year-old star of the hit web series, "CC
and Me," has disappeared, and nobody knows where she's gone -- least of
all ruthless momager Jennifer Scarborough, who has spent much of her
daughter's young life crafting a child celebrity persona that is finally
beginning to pay off. And in Chloe's absence, the faux-fairytale world
that supported that persona begins to fracture, revealing secrets
capable of reducing the highly-dysfunctional Scarborough family to
rubble.
Anxious to find her daughter and preserve the life she's worked so hard
to build, Jennifer turns to social media for help, but the hearsay,
false claims, and salacious suspicions only multiply. As the search
becomes as sensational as Chloe's series, Missing Persons detective
Emilina Stone steps in, only to realize she has a connection to this
case herself. Will she be able to stay objective and cut through the
rumors to find the truth before it's too late?
Told from multiple points of view including Jennifer, Emilina, and pages
from Chloe's lost diary, Chloe Cates Is Missing is a suspenseful novel
of a child pushed to the brink, and of the troubled family that
desperately needs her back.
