Book 1.5 of the Echoes of the Unsolved series. Set between Book 1 and Obsession's Edge.
Six weeks. That's how long Josie Whitlock has been gone.
Mia Turner swore she was finished with Maplewood. She'd given the police everything, said Adrian Wolfe's name out loud into a microphone, and watched him walk away clean while the people who'd stayed silent for twenty years went back to their lives.
Then a woman doesn't come home, and the tip lands in Mia's inbox before the police have opened a file.
Maplewood has a hero already. A podcaster who arrived after the disappearance, who says all the right things about the missing girl, who has the whole town telling him what nobody will tell Mia. She knows exactly who he is. Nobody else wants to.
The sheriff tells her to stay low. The diner owner stops meeting her eye. The town closes around her like a hand.
And one morning there is a shoebox outside her door, squared against the frame by somebody who took the trouble to line it up. A folded gray cardigan. A hair clip. A paperback with a receipt in it, dated eleven days before Josie walked out of the Rusty Anchor. And underneath, face down, a photograph.
She has been here before. She knows how this ends if she stops.
She doesn't know yet what it will cost to keep going.
A psychological thriller about the towns that protect their own, the stories we tell about the missing, and the difference between looking for someone and being too late.
