Little Girl Gone

A social worker turns amateur sleuth when a teen in her care goes missing, and the girl’s mother is found murdered, in this southern domestic thriller. Claire Conover is in a bind. The thirteen-year-old girl who had been taken into custody for sleeping behind a grocery store has disappeared without a trace. Worse, her mother’s dead body is discovered on a construction site. Is it possible the runaway daughter pulled the trigger? Or is the girl a victim of her murdered mother’s shady lifestyle? The only thing Claire knows is she needs to find the girl—fast—even if it means teaming up with an investigative reporter whose intentions toward her may be more than platonic. Prowling the streets of Birmingham, Claire works to solve the dark puzzle of the girl’s life, desperate to find her alive and keep her safe, once and for all.

With her fine ear for regional speech, Fenton may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina.” —Publishers Weekly “A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth, and Birmingham offers a fresh take on the New South as a setting for crime fiction. . . . [A] promising new series.” —Booklist
