The Whisper Girl

How do you find a missing girl who doesn't exist?

Born to the secretive, prepper enclave on the other side of Red Sky Hill, Adah Lee has no birth certificate, no social security number, no school records. To the outside world, she simply doesn’t exist. So when she’s kidnapped on her 17th birthday, it might just be the perfect crime.


Only this girl means something to someone dangerous.


When an old adversary reaches out to Detective Jake Cashen for help in finding the girl, he knows the odds are stacked against him. Adah’s community doesn’t trust him. No one wants him there.


But Detective Cashen is her only chance at justice…or revenge
