SHE NEEDS A KID TO CATCH A KILLERβ¦BUT HOW TO CATCH THE KID?
A serial killer is using Airbnb units to stage his murders, but a teenage runaway has escaped his grasp and now she's in the wind, believing she's killed him. Meanwhile the real killer stalks the city β and her.
Cody, the pink-haired sixteen-year-old, should be in school or at the mall texting her friends, not hanging out at the intersection of serial murder and human trafficking. When the options are: (1) Return to a life of slavery (2) Go to jail for murder (3) Be killed by a serial killer, Option 4 makes perfect sense β RUN! As mean as the streets of The City That Care Forgot can be, this child attracts angels (often unlikely ones) β and entire packs of dogs β who come to her aid.
She also finds a friend in NOPDβs newest Sergeant β big (six-foot!), beautiful, tough, and tender-hearted Skip Langdon. Skip knows her best hope of finding the killer is to find Cody β plus she feels for the girl, in whom she recognizes a younger version of her plucky, resourceful, whip-smart self. The cityβs hard-boiled; the detective has a heart the size of the Superdome.
