Last Girl Missing (Detective Callie Forde #1) – Coming Summer 2024
She wanted to avenge her father. She needed to save herself.
When Detective Callie Forde is called to the home of a missing teenaged girl, she doesn’t initially suspect foul play. Hampstead is a quiet, college town. It’s safe—if you don’t count the other girl. But as the hours wear on with no sign of Natalie, the police are forced to consider the teenager might have been abducted. No one is more surprised than Callie when all their leads are eerily similar to that other case, the five-year cold case that ended with a botched investigation, a shooting, and her father in a wheelchair. Determined not to make the mistakes he made, Callie races to find the girl, avenge her father, and maybe, stop history from repeating itself.
