Frankie Elkin usually prefers her cases cold. Until she finds herself in the broiling streets of Tucson, Arizona, where an Afghan refugee has been missing for three weeks.
The woman she is looking for, Sabera Ahmadi, is a wife and young mother, haunted by war, scarred by her past.
The police and Sabera’s husband seem indifferent to her disappearance.
But Frankie knows trauma. She knows it can fuel or destroy you.
And when she sees the distress in Sabera’s daughter’s eyes, she makes a decision she soon regrets: find Sabera.
But in order to solve the mystery of Sabera’s present, Frankie must revisit her past in order to uncover the dark secret she is hiding.
A secret so dangerous it might kill them both …____________
