They are the victims no one has ever cared about, until now. Agents Stevens and Windermere return in the blistering new crime novel from the fast-rising, multi-award-nominated suspense star.
 
She was a forgotten girl, a runaway found murdered on the High Line train through the northern Rocky Mountains and, with little local interest, put into a dead file. But she was not alone. When Kirk Stevens and Carla Windermere of the joint FBI-BCA violent crime force stumble upon the case, they discover a horror far greater than anyone expected—a string of murders on the High Line, all of them young women drifters whom no one would notice.
            But someone has noticed now. Through the bleak midwinter and a frontier land of forbidding geography, Stevens and Windermere follow a frustratingly light trail of clues—and where it ends, even they will be shocked.

Praise for The Forgotten Girls

Praise for The Watcher in the Wall
"Owen Laukkanen knows which crimes and misdemeanors are too monstrous to be ignored." -- New York Times Book Review

"A gut-wrenching tale filled with empathy. This may be the best yet in a first-rate series. FBI agent Carla Windermere is such a wonderful series character. Either she or the perp is going down, and it damned well won't be her. --Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"Incomparable pacing. This is a guaranteed lost weekend for Laukkanen's fans and for anyone who's seeking a Lee Child-like adrenaline rush." --Booklist

"Laukkanen's fast-paced prose and short chapters pull readers along on a cross-country pursuit... It's a true page-turner up to the final act, which quickly escalates into a fiery exchange of gunfire."-- BookPage
