About this book

McCown County assistant prosecutor Elsie Arnold is working on an assault case when a beaten girl is discovered at a roadside motel. The teen, Mandy, refuses to cooperate and later disappears. Elsie believes a predator is targeting the Ozark hills and suspects sex trafficking, but local authorities dismiss her concerns. When middle school student Desiree Wickham goes missing, Elsie is the only one who connects it to Mandy's assault. Her investigation reveals that local girls are being recruited by a dubious online modeling agency and vanishing. Despite sharing her findings with Detective Ashlock and the FBI, Elsie is shut out. Taking action on her own, Elsie arranges an interview with the agency's head. When they meet in person, she discovers what happened to Desiree and Mandy—and becomes his captive. Now Elsie must find a way to free the girls and escape before it is too late.
