About the book
The instant New York Times bestseller.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a propulsive thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten
Frankie Elkin is not your typical middle-aged woman. She is a recovering alcoholic with a past filled with regrets, but she chooses to spend her days searching for missing individuals that society has forgotten. When the authorities have given up and the media has moved on, Frankie is just getting started.
In her latest case, Frankie finds herself in Mattapan, a tough neighborhood in Boston, searching for Angelique Badeau, a young Haitian girl who disappeared from her school months ago. Facing pushback from both the police and the victim's family, Frankie knows she is alone in her quest for answers. As she digs deeper, she realizes that someone is desperate to keep the truth hidden. Despite the risks, Frankie is determined to uncover the reality, even if it means putting her own life in danger.
