Moonlight Mile
The blurb:
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston apartment in 1997. Desperate pleas for help from the child's aunt led savvy, tough-nosed investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro to take on the case. The pair risked everything to find the young girl -- only to have Kenzie orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and a broken home.
Now Amanda is sixteen -- and gone again. A stellar student, brilliant but aloof, she is now destined to escape her upbringing. Yet Amanda's aunti s once more knocking on Kenzie's door, fearing the worst for the little girl who has blossomed into a striking, bright young woman who hasn't been seen in two weeks.
Haunted by the past, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most, following a twelve-year trail of secrets and lies down the darker alleys of Boston's gritty, blue-collar streets. Assuring themselves that this time will be different, they vow to make good on their promise to find Amanda and see that she is safe. But their determination to do the right thing holds dark implications Kenzie and Gennaro aren't prepared for. . . consequences that could cost them not only Amanda's life but their own.
Review:
