Hast du jemals einen Mord begangen? Glaube mir: zu töten ist nicht schwer. Alles nur eine Frage der Logistik. Man muss jeden einzelnen Schritt planen und dann die nötigen Vorkehrungen treffen. Zum Beispiel sein Opfer auswählen. Blond. Brünett. Rothaarig. Männlich oder weiblich. Jemanden, den man kennt - bald sehr gut kennen wird. Wähle dein Opfer genau aus. Das ist Schritt eins ... Der Mann, der das Bostoner Polizeirevier betritt, hat ein ungewöhnliches Anliegen: Er ist Produzent und sucht für einen Film über Serienmörder dringend eine Expertin. Detective D.D. Warren nimmt sein Angebot an, ein Tag in Hollywood klingt reizvoll. Doch als sie am Set eintrifft, herrscht dort große Aufregung: Ein Mitglied der Crew wurde erschlagen aufgefunden. Und dann folgt auch schon der zweite Mord ... 104 Tatverdächtige, ein Mörder und ein Netz voller Lügen: Wem kann D.D. noch trauen?

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 ...

"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
