Before She Disappeared
From the Sunday Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a gripping thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten.
Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner is a thriller that introduces Frankie Elkin, an average middle-aged woman with more regrets than belongings, who dedicates her life to searching for missing people whom the world has stopped looking for.
When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, and when the media has never paid attention, Frankie steps in to start the search.
A new case brings Frankie to Mattapan, a Boston neighbourhood with a rough reputation, as she searches for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.
Facing resistance from the Boston PD and the wary victimβs family, Frankie realises she's on her own. Soon, she uncovers that her line of questioning ignites concern in someone who doesn't want the truth found.
But Frankie is relentless in her pursuit of the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing might be her...

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.
