From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a "frightening, full of twists, and completely satisfying" thriller in which Frankie Elkin must locate the long-lost sister of a serial killer (Karin Slaughter). Five-year-old Leilani Pierson has been missing for over a decade. Amateur detective Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding missing persons. But this case has unusually high stakes. The request comes from Leilani’s sister Kaylee, a convicted serial killer weeks away from her execution date. The main suspect in the kidnapping? Kaylee’s ex-boyfriend, a tech billionaire who has hidden himself away on a remote base camp near Hawaii. Determined to find the missing girl–alive–Frankie embarks on a dangerous mission. Up against a ticking clock and an incoming tropical storm, will Frankie Elkin learn the truth and save Leilani before it’s too late?

"Não sou policial. Não sou detetive particular. Não tenho nenhuma habilidade ou treinamento especiais. Eu sou só eu, uma mulher branca bem comum, de meia-idade, com mais arrependimentos do que pertences, mais histórias tristes do que felizes. Meu nome é Frankie Elkin, e encontrar pessoas desaparecidas – especialmente as que fazem parte de minorias – é o que eu faço. E não é por dinheiro nenhum, por reconhecimento nenhum, e, na maioria das vezes, com ajuda nenhuma também. Por que eu faço o que faço? Tantos de nossos filhos desapareceram. Muitos deles nunca serão encontrados, e tantas vezes apenas pela cor de sua pele. Talvez a pergunta não deva ser por que eu faço isso, e sim por que não estão todos procurando." Frankie Elkin é uma mulher comum. Seu passado complicado foi em grande parte preenchido pela luta contra o alcoolismo. A forma que encontrou de dar sentido à sua vida foi se dedicar a fazer o que ninguém mais faz: tentar encontrar pessoas desaparecidas que o mundo deixou de procurar. Quando a polícia desiste de investigar, quando a mídia deixa de noticiar o caso, quando o público não se lembra mais, é aí que Frankie começa a trabalhar. Um novo caso a leva a Mattapan, um bairro periférico de Boston com uma reputação perigosa. Frankie está em busca de Angelique Badeau, uma adolescente haitiana que desapareceu da escola meses antes. A resistência do Departamento de Polícia de Boston em aceitar uma civil na investigação e a cautela da família da vítima, que hesita em depositar esperanças em uma completa desconhecida, mostram a Frankie que ela está sozinha – e ela logo descobre que está fazendo perguntas que alguém não quer que sejam respondidas. Mas Frankie não vai parar até descobrir a verdade, ainda que isso signifique que a próxima pessoa a desaparecer seja ela mesma. " Antes de desaparecer apresenta o que pode ser a detetive mais poderosa da década: uma mulher ''comum'' determinada a descobrir a verdade a qualquer custo. Só há uma coisa a pedir a Gardner quando o livro termina: uma sequência e uma série." New York Journal of Books "Um thriller inquietante, com reviravoltas suficientes para manter até mesmo os leitores mais experientes do gênero na dúvida até o fim." Book Reporter "Os fãs de Tessa Leoni, D.D. Warren e Flora Dane abraçarão a garra e a empatia de sua nova heroína." Kirkus Reviews

Varje gång mördaren slog till tog han två offer. Ivrigt väntade han på att den första döda kroppen skulle hittas. Om polisen fann den skulle de automatiskt få alla ledtrådar de kunde tänkas behöva för att hitta offer nummer två – ett offer som ännu var vid liv, vettskrämt, i fångenskap och med svår dödsångest. Länge fanns det en liten chans att offer nummer två skulle kunna räddas. Men polisen hann aldrig fram i tid. Flera år har gått sedan de fasansfulla morden, men för mördaren verkar tiden ha stått stilla. Under den värsta värmeböljan på många år börjar han sin kusliga tittut-lek på nytt. Två unga flickor försvinner – och nu gäller det för polisen att hinna överlista honom ...
