But who will save her?
A thrilling new FBI series for fans of Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter.
FBI Agent Elsa Myers has a secret...
Elsa Myers is smart, determined, and gifted with an extraordinary ability to find missing children. When vulnerable teenager Ruby disappears from Queens, she is put on the case.
But Elsa's skills are rooted in her own troubled past. She is haunted by her mother's murder, her father is dying, and her relationship with her sister is crumbling.
As the case begins to look hopeless, it becomes more and more personal, tangling with the traumatic history she has worked so hard to hide.
As the darkness gathers around her, Elsa has to make a choice: can she save Ruby, if it means losing herself?
