An ex-cop sets out to find her missing sister and discovers the shocking truth about her family...
A traumatic experience in the line of duty forces thirty-year-old Avery Rogers to abandon both her relationship and her position as a Kentucky State Police officer. She retreats to a college town where she works an unfulfilling job as a security guard, breaking up fights between drunken frat boys. 
But a frantic phone call turns Avery’s life upside down. Her father—a retired cop who never fails to convey his disappointment in Avery—says her half sister is missing and in danger. Avery is sure Anna’s just crashing with friends, but her father strong-arms her into searching for the sister she barely knows.
Anna Rogers is fed up with her family—a half sister who resents her existence and a domineering father who thinks it’s okay for cops to shoot unarmed civilians. She hits the road to attend a protest against police brutality, unaware of the danger that awaits her there. 
Just after catching a glimpse of Avery at the protest, Anna receives a shocking text. Now she’s no longer road-tripping; she’s running, pursued by an older sister she doesn’t trust and a violent stranger who has been stalking her for weeks. 
When Avery discovers Anna’s hiding place near a remote cave system, she risks everything to save her. Little do the sisters know that a secret is catching up to them—a secret at the very heart of their family history.

      Avery Rogers's life is upended when she receives a call from her father, a retired police officer, who tells her that her half-sister Anna is missing and in danger. Avery, who retired from her position in the Kentucky State Police after a traumatic incident, isn't so sure that Anna's in trouble. She secretly wonders if Anna is off partying but reluctantly agrees to search for her. Meanwhile, Anna is fed up with her family, especially her pro-police father, and is heading to a police protest. Anna receives a shocking text after spotting Avery at the protest. Soon she is on the run, with family secrets close on her heels. Bell's (She's Gone) latest is a suspenseful, dread-filled listen that never fails to surprise. Narrator Erin Spencer brings the Rogers family to life, perfectly capturing the personalities of each family member and fleshing out their points of contention with one another. Spencer's perfectly paced narration ratchets up the tension as Anna desperately tries to escape her past. VERDICT This fast-paced thriller comes to a shocking conclusion and is a winning recommendation for Bell's many fans.--Elyssa Everling
