Perfect for you if...

You're gripped by procedural thrillers where the detective's personal stakes matter as much as the case itself.
You've read the previous Collector books and want to see how Eliza and Brandon's partnership deepens under pressure.
You appreciate crime fiction that treats child abductions with gravity and doesn't rely on graphic shock value for tension.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your thrillers wrapped up neatly. This book is book four in a series and continues unresolved threads from earlier instalments.
You prefer your crime fiction light or cosy. The subject matter here is genuinely dark and deals with child endangerment throughout.
You want a standalone. You'll be lost jumping in without context from the previous three books.

About this book

Eight-year-old Brooklyn Mercer has disappeared. FBI agents Eliza Sterling and Brandon Eddison are assigned to the case, which becomes personal when they discover it falls on the anniversary of Eddison's own sister's disappearance years earlier. The girl's appearance is strikingly similar to Eliza—so much so they could be mother and daughter. As Eddison struggles with his resurfaced trauma, Eliza investigates further. What she uncovers troubles her deeply: Brooklyn is not the first girl matching her exact description to vanish. A pattern emerges spanning decades across cities throughout the country. Eliza races to bring Brooklyn home while searching for connections to the cold case that has haunted Eddison and the Crimes Against Children team since its formation.
