Before she disappeared

Lisa Gardner

Frankie Elkin, bk. 1

Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, with more regrets than belongings, who spends her life doing what no one else will: seeking missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention... Frankie starts searching. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is looking for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from both the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own. But she will stop at nothing to discover the truth - even if it means the next person to go missing will be her..
