The Return of Ellie Black: A Novel (Chelsey Calhoun Book 1)

Detective Chelsey Calhoun receives word that Ellie Black, a teenager who vanished two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington state. However, Ellie's reappearance raises troubling questions rather than providing answers. Chalsey has spent twenty years searching for her own sister, who disappeared during their teenage years. She has devoted her career to investigating missing persons cases. When Ellie is discovered, Chalsey sees a potential breakthrough. Yet Ellie refuses to disclose where she has been or who she may be protecting, forcing Chalsey to investigate further. Chalsey is driven to uncover the truth about what happened to Ellie—for her own closure, in honor of her sister's memory, and to prevent another girl from disappearing. The novel follows Chalsey's pursuit of answers in a case where nothing appears as it should.
