출판사 설명
Talk radio host Kit Doyle goes undercover as a teenaged runaway in this mystery series "that will attract Erin Hart enthusiasts" (Library Journal).
Seventeen-year-old Jessica is missing. There are no clues as to why she disappeared—apart from the note she left behind: "I love you. Goodbye forever." It turns out that Jessica is not the first teenager to have gone missing, nor the first to have left exactly the same note.
With a family connection to the missing girl, crime blogger and radio host Kit Doyle is determined to find out what happened to her. Going undercover as a teenaged runaway, Kit discovers a violent, unpredictable, cult-like world led by a dangerous psychopath—and is pulled deeper and deeper off the grid. If Kit doesn't find a way out soon, she'll not only lose Jessica, but she herself will be swallowed up whole.
"This suspenseful thriller offers a thought-provoking look at the plight of teenage runaways." —Booklist
"Readers will admire the chutzpah with which the 27-year-old finagles her way into a teenage cabal bent on misdeeds." —Publishers Weekly
"Kit is a flawed individual whose weak spots spur her to help others. Her determined pursuit of the culprit results in a roller-coaster ride of suspense." —Library Journal
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Hill's uneven second Kit Doyle thriller (after 2015's If Anything Should Happen), the Sacramento, Calif., crime blogger and radio talk show cohost and her husband, Richard, with whom she's on the verge of splitting, go to a farmers' market. There Richard confides that his 17-year-old niece, Jessica, whom he hasn't seen in 15 years, has gone missing, and he introduces her to the girl's mother, Sarah, who's selling organic plums at a booth. Kit turns for help to former cop John Paul Nathan, who tells her the farewell note that Jessica left Sarah is identical to ones left by other missing teens. Sure this is no coincidence, Kit decides that the only way to locate these kids is to pose as a runaway. Readers will admire the chutzpah with which the 27-year-old finagles her way into a teenage cabal bent on misdeeds, but the disjointed plot doesn't do justice to the intriguing setup.
