Kiss Her Goodbye marks the return of Frankie Elkin in her most breath-taking adventure yet, crafted by the Sunday Times bestselling author, Lisa Gardner.

'Tense, timely and totally gripping. Lisa Gardner at her very best' β€” Ruth Ware

'In Kiss Her Goodbye, Gardner, always a pitch-perfect writer, elevates her game to produce a thought-provoking tale that lingers with you in ways both small and profound.' β€” David Baldacci

'A triumph of storytelling. Lisa Gardner has fashioned a novel that is both a heart-pounding thriller and a deeply intimate look at a family in crisis' β€” Louise Penny

The woman Frankie is looking for, Sabera Ahmadi, is a wife and young mother, haunted by war and scarred by her past. The police and Sabera's husband seem indifferent to her disappearance. But Frankie knows trauma; she knows it can fuel or destroy you. When she sees the distress in Sabera's daughter's eyes, she makes a decision she soon regrets β€” to find Sabera.

To solve the mystery of Sabera's present, Frankie must revisit her past and uncover the dark secret Sabera is hiding. A secret so dangerous it might kill them both...

About the Author

Lisa Gardner started her writing career aged seventeen. Having caught her hair on fire while working in food service, crafting a novel seemed a safer bet. A mere ten years later she became an overnight success with the publication of her first thriller, The Perfect Husband. Now an internationally bestselling author and winner of the International Thriller Writers Award for best suspense novel, Lisa lives in the mountains of New Hampshire with her family. When not glued to her computer, she can be found hiking the mountains with her dogs and/or researching new and interesting ways to get away with murder.
