A woman vanished -- without a word and without a trace --
five years ago. The daughter she left behind hasn't spoken
since. And now the troubled young girl stands accused of a
shocking and brutal crime.
The distraught stranger at the Washington Square dog run --
where Rachel Alexander has brought her faithful pit bull
partner, Dashiell, for his daily r&r -- wants the p.i. to
find his missing wife, a near-impossible task after all this
time. Still, Rachel is touched by the plight of the man's
mute daughter, whom she believes innocent of stabbing her
doctor to death. But to clear the girl's name, Rachel must
somehow find a way to communicate with her. And her attempts
are leading Rachel to dangerous places -- and to tragic
truths as dark and frightening as a lonely child's worst
nightmare.
