She was close enough to see that the girl had written a word on the wall in bright, warm red blood. Not a word, actually. A name…
Everyone in the small American town of Denton is searching for Isabelle Coleman, a missing seventeen-year-old girl. All they’ve found so far is her phone and another girl they didn’t even know was missing.
Mute and completely unresponsive to the world around her, it’s clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Detective Josie Quinn can get from her is a name: Ramona.
Currently suspended from the force for misconduct, Josie takes matters into her own hands as the name leads her to evidence linking the two girls. She knows the race is on to find Isabelle alive, and she fears there may be others…
The trail leads Josie to another victim, a girl who escaped but whose case was labelled a hoax by authorities. To catch this monster, Josie must confront her own nightmares and follow her instinct to the darkest of places. But can she make it out alive?

Josie! What can I say she doesn't back down when she knows something crazy is going on. She is like a dog with a bone. She is on suspension and trying to get her husband (who is also on the force) to sign the divorce papers while also dealing with her grandma in a nursing home.
With all this she still is finding time to ask questions and dig into the missing girl Isabelle. When another young girl goes missing as well Josie doesn't think it is a coincidence.
As Josie starts doing more and more digging she finds out that there is more to this that meets the eye. Grandma played her part and I was impressed!
We learn the story of the kidnapped girls and until you get to the end it is wrapped up nicely. I think I may have found another author I want to add to my list. For me the pace was great and the storyline kept my attention. I love a kick-a$$ female detective that will go to the ends of the earth to uncover the truth.
