With a friend's child missing, and the police failing, disgraced ex-detective Harper enlists the aid of a former crime boss to untangle a mystery that strikes too close to home. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine, and Tana French. Disgraced ex-detective Harper Adams has nothing left—no job, no reputation, and nowhere to go but back to the small Arkansas town she swore she’d never set foot in again. She plans to keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and drink away what’s left of her pride. Until a girl goes missing. The child of Harper’s childhood friend has vanished without a trace—and the details are disturbingly similar to the kidnapping and murder of Harper’s own sister two decades earlier. With the police bungling the case and the clock ticking, Harper knows she’s the only one who might see what others can’t. The only one who can bring the girl home. But she can’t do it alone. To navigate the lies, secrets, and small-town politics standing in her way, Harper turns to the one man who might be able to help: James Malcolm, a former crime boss with a complicated past and his own reasons for getting involved. In a town that remembers all her mistakes, Harper will have to face her past to save a child’s future—even if it means making a deal with the devil. Gritty, emotional, and impossible to put down, Little Girl Vanished is the first book in a powerful new mystery series for fans of Lisa Regan’s fearless, driven heroines, Rachel Caine’s pulse-pounding suspense, and Tana French’s deeply layered, character-driven mysteries.
