Frankie Elkin is a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will--searching out missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up and the public no longer remembers, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school. Resistance from the Boston police department and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.
