A Frankie Elkin Novel

Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman with more regrets than belongings who spends her life doing what no one else will: searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings Frankie to Mattapan, a Boston neighbourhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

A young man disappears during a stag weekend in the woods. Years later, he's still missing. But his friends who were with him that day are still searching for him. Still hunting for answers. They hike deep into the wilderness. With them is missing person specialist Frankie Elkin. What they don't know is that they are putting their own lives in terrifying danger, and may not come back alive.

Frankie Elkin is about to undertake the strangest mission of her career. She has been asked by serial killer Keahi Pierson, who has killed and dismembered 18 men and now serves out the very limited time she has left on Death Row, to find her long lost sister Lani. Keahi had always assumed her sister to be dead, but she's just received a letter preporting to be from her. It's Keahi's dying wish to know that her sister is well and happy. Only trouble is that she faces the death penalty in three weeks time. The clock is ticking.
