Vanishing Girls

A USA Today bestseller "takes readers on a whirlwind ride" in this "gratifying" thriller featuring a traumatized female PI as she hunts a serial killer (New York Journal of Books).

Private investigator Karin Schaeffer receives the call meant for her detective husband Mac on a Sunday night: two females found on a Brooklyn street. The first is an eleven-year-old girl, the apparent victim of a hit-and-run. But it's the second body that truly chills the blood--a young corpse bearing the grisly, unmistakable signature of a serial slayer who has eluded the NYPD for years.

But there's something frightening different about these latest atrocities--a kink that is leading Schaeffer's unofficial investigation down strange and twisting alleys where nothing is as it originally seems. And the haunted P.I., who once lost everything to a psychopath, is suddenly facing the darkness once again...when the horror strikes too close to home and those she loves are in danger of vanishing forever.
