A Hardboiled Private Investigator Thriller of Missing Children and Small-Town Corruption

When two young sisters, ten-year-old Kylie and eight-year-old Bailey Brandt, disappear from a strip mall parking lot in March, Pennsylvania, local police efforts stall. Desperate for answers, the girls' family hires Alice Vega, a relentless bounty hunter from California known for tracking missing minors.

Recognizing the need for local assistance, Vega recruits Max Caplan, a disgraced former police officer turned private investigator. Navigating small-town secrets, local suspects, and institutional neglect, Vega and Caplan race against the clock to locate the missing girls before time runs out.

Why You’ll Love This Book
