From the breakout bestselling author of CEMETERY GIRL and THE HIDING PLACE comes a thrilling novel of suspense about a man whose life is turned upside-down after his sister who disappeared years ago suddenly returns.

The USA Today bestselling author of Somebody's Daughter and Layover presents a twist-filled thriller about a troubled family with long-buried secrets...

The past has arrived uninvited at Jason Danvers’s door in the form of his younger sister, Hayden, a former addict who severed all contact with her family as her life spiraled out of control. Now she’s clean and sober but in need of a desperate favor—she asks Jason and his wife to take care of her teenage daughter for forty-eight hours while she handles some business in town.

But Hayden never returns.

Her disappearance brings up more unresolved problems from Jason’s past, including the abrupt departure of his best friend on the night of their high school graduation twenty-seven years earlier. When a body is discovered in the woods, the mysteries of his sister’s life—and possible death—deepen. One by one these events will shatter every expectation Jason has ever had about families, about the awful truths that bind them, and the secrets that should be taken to the grave.

Praise for The Forgotten Girl

"One of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time."
--Suspense Magazine on NEVER COME BACK
"Smart, stark and haunting."
--Tuscon Citizen on CEMETERY GIRL
"More than just an utterly compelling thriller--and it certainly is that. David Bell's stellar novel is also a haunting meditation on the ties that bind parent to child, husband to wife, brother to brother--and what survives even under the most shattering possible circumstance. An absolutely riveting, absorbing read not to be missed."
--Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author on CEMETERY GIRL
"CEMETERY GIRL is a smasher. It twists and turns and never lets go, and...it could happen just this way."
--Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author
"A fast, mean head trip of a thriller that reads like a collaboration between Michael Connelly and the gothic fiction of Joyce Carol Oates, [this] is one of those novels that you cannot shake after it's over. A winner on every level."
--Will Lavender, New York Times bestselling authoron CEMETERY GIRL
"A powerful, provocative novel."
--Publishers Weekly on THE HIDING PLACE
