A missing girl returns. But that isn't the end of the story - it's only the beginning.

It's been twenty years since Detective Chelsy Calhoun's sister vanished. Ever since, Chelsey's been searching: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. But happy endings are rare in Chelsey's line of work.

Then, a glimmer of hope. Local teenager Ellie Black, who disappeared without a trace two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington State.

Only - something isn't right with Ellie. She won't say where she's been or who she's protecting. Now, it's up to Chelsey to find answers before it's too late: for herself and the memory of her sister. But mostly for the next girl who could be taken - and who, unlike Ellie, might never return.

The debut thriller from bestselling author Emiko Jean is both a feminist tour de force about the embers of hope that burn in the aftermath of tragedy and a twisty page-turner that will shock readers right up to the final page.
