"There are few authors who can twist the ordinary into such frightening and compelling scenarios, and Mindy Mejia tops that list." --William Kent Krueger
The latest thriller in the USA Today bestselling Iowa Mysteries series starring Max Summerlin and Jonah Kendrick, an unlikely pair of private investigators who specialize in finding people who don't want to be found.
How do you find a woman who doesn't exist?
As a former police officer and a psychic detective, Max Summerlin and Jonah Kendrick may not be the most conventional business partners. But together, they have years of investigative experience, and opening Celina Investigations feels like a natural decision.
When a man walks into their office searching for his missing girlfriend without a past or even a name, Max and Jonah realize their newest client may present their hardest challenge yet. Their first task: find out why he refuses to go to the police.
Meanwhile, a woman drives across the country with all her belongings packed into a car, desperate to escape a dark past. The question posed to the fleeing woman is the same one that keeps Max and Jonah awake at night: can you ever really change your life?
From an 80's-inspired bakery to a horrifying house at the edge of the woods, Max and Jonah unearth the missing woman's shocking past, and in the process, put themselves directly in the path of the terror she was trying to outrun.
