Over the course of eight novels, Carol O'Connell and her
protagonist, New York detective Kathy Mallory, have carved
out a unique
place for themselves. But all that has been prelude to the
remarkable
story told in Find Me.
A mutilated body is
found lying
on the ground in Chicago, a dead hand pointing down Adams
Street, also
known as Route 66, a road of many names. And now of many
deaths. A
silent caravan of cars, dozens of them, drives down that
road, each
passenger bearing a photograph, but none of them the same.
They are the
parents of missing children, some recently disappeared, some
gone a
decade or more-all brought together by word that childrens'
grave sites
are being discovered along the Mother Road.
Kathy
Mallory
drives with them. The child she seeks, though, is not like
the others'.
It is herself-the feral child adopted off the streets, her
father a
blank, her mother dead and full of mysteries. During the
next few
extraordinary days, Mallory will find herself hunting a
killer like
none she has ever known, and will undergo a series of
revelations not
only of stunning intensity- but stunning effect.
