Description
Kiss Her Goodbye by Lisa Gardner brings back Frankie Elkin for her most breath-taking adventure yet. This brand new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author is sure to captivate readers.
Frankie Elkin usually prefers her cases cold. However, she finds herself in the broiling streets of Tucson, Arizona, where an Afghan refugee has been missing for three weeks.
The woman she is looking for, Sabera Ahmadi, is a young mother, haunted by war and scarred by the past. The police and Sabera's husband appear indifferent to her disappearance. But Frankie understands trauma; she knows it can fuel or destroy you.
When she notices the distress in Sabera's daughter's eyes, Frankie makes a decision she soon regrets—to find Sabera.
A few days later, Frankie sees Sabera on camera walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder, realising Sabera might not be the victim she assumed her to be.
To solve the mystery of Sabera's present, Frankie must revisit her past and uncover the dark secret Sabera is still hiding. A secret so dangerous it might kill them both...
