About this audiobook
Private detective Sam Jones’s six-year search for an eight-year-old boy ends with gunshots in a basement and cold
bodies that would eventually lead the police straight to him. Jones had never promised Ruth Verne that he would find
her son alive, but he knew deep down that she believed he would—worse, he had believed it too. Jones wasn’t ready
to look Ruth in the eye and tell her he had failed. He wasn’t ready to admit that he lost everything and had nothing
to show for it.
But an unsigned note scrawled on a bathroom door gives Jones a second chance—a chance for redemption.
Thirteen words left by a young girl in trouble give him someone to chase and a reason to keep moving before the cops
move on him. Jones follows the trail from an idyllic small town to the darkest corners of the city, running from the
boy he failed toward the girl he could still save.
