Before she disappeared : a novel
(Book)

Recovering alcoholic Frankie Elkin has spent her life looking for the lost and forgotten: when the police have moved on, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. Her new case brings her to a tough Boston suburb, in search of a Haitian teenager who vanished from high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she is on her own. She soon learns that she is asking questions someone doesn't want answered, but she will risk it all to discover the truth, even if it means she will be the next person to go missing.
