And for two cops, Mack Steiner and Bank Arbaugh–partners, best friends, fathers themselves–the girl’s disappearance will hurtle them back through layers of friendship, memory, and loss. Because seven years before, Bank’s own daughter vanished without a trace. And now, as police descend on the small midwestern city, as witnesses are grilled and evidence mounts, one case begins to illuminate the other. And for two men, a harrowing journey has begun–one that will test their long, complicated friendship and uncover a chilling truth about two missing girls, two shattered families, and at least one heartbreaking lie.
