Emily Ray. Josie Vance. Danica Hansen. Three girls with one thing in common: they were all seven years old when they were abducted.

When young Josie Vance vanishes from Cove Park, California leaving behind her light-up sneakers, Special Agent Emily Ray leads the investigation to find her. She is the very best at finding abducted children. Twenty-eight years ago she was one of them.

As she leads the hunt, the kidnapper sends a drawing. It depicts a little girl in pink leggings, standing before a brick house, clutching silver balloons. The address scrawled in the background is identical to where Emily was held captive.

Along with a hair clip and a faded children's book, the clues spark a chilling realization: Her abductor may still be alive.

To find the missing girl, Emily must unearth the past she buried. But with every step, she fears the case is not just about saving one child, but confronting the man who's returned to destroy the life she's painstakingly rebuilt from the ashes.

Are you ready for your next keep-you-up-all-night page-turning thriller? Be prepared to find yourself utterly addicted to the Special Agent Emily Ray series. Perfect for fans of Noelle W. Ihli, A.J. Rivers and Jess Lourey.
