Special Agent Emily Ray

Emily Ray. Josie Vance. Danica Hansen. Three girls with one thing in common: they were all seven years old when they were abducted. When young Josie Vance vanishes from Cove Park, California leaving behind her light-up sneakers, Special Agent Emily Ray leads the investigation to find her. She is the very best at finding abducted children. Twenty-eight years ago she was one of them. As she leads the hunt, the kidnapper sends a drawing. It depicts a little girl in pink leggings, standing before a brick house, clutching silver balloons. The address scrawled in the background is identical to where Emily was held captive. Along with a hair clip and a faded children's book, the clues spark a chilling realization: Her abductor may still be alive. To find the missing girl, Emily must unearth the past she buried. But with every step, she fears the case is not just about saving one child, but confronting the man who's returned to destroy the life she's painstakingly rebuilt from the ashes. Are you ready for your next keep-you-up-all-night page-turning thriller? Be prepared to find yourself utterly addicted to the Special Agent Emily Ray series. Perfect for fans of Noelle W. Ihli, A.J.

Emily dropped the coffee cup she was holding, watching it shatter on the kitchen floor. On television, a woman nervously introduced herself as Danica Hansen-the girl Emily used to be. When Special Agent Emily Ray is assigned to verify the identity of Kaveri Miller Browne, a missing heiress who's reappeared after eighteen years, it should be routine. DNA proves identity. Case closed. But then Emily discovers another found woman claiming to be Danica Hansen-a name buried in Emily's past. As Emily investigates the retired detective who miraculously found both missing women, a former Browne family servant dies mysteriously in her care facility and a young woman who knew Kaveri vanishes from a desert town. With each death, Emily realizes she's not just investigating fraud-she's uncovered a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of power. Emily Ray knows exactly what happened to the real Danica Hansen. She knows because she's been living that girl's secret every day since she was fifteen. But now someone has plucked a forgotten girl from obscurity and given her Emily's discarded identity, and Emily faces an impossible choice: Expose the conspiracy and risk revealing the secret that could destroy everything she's built. Or stay silent while innocent lives hang in the balance. The explosive third installment in the addictive Special Agent Emily Ray series delivers shocking twists that will leave you breathless.
