Among the Bones: Book 1 of the Sarah Crockett Mysteries, Among the Lost Children

University professor Sarah Crockett’s eleven-year-old daughter disappeared five years ago. The only person still looking for her is Sarah. “Give up on all those fairy-tale stories,” her ex-husband tells her. “Kidnapped kids don’t come back when they’ve been gone that long.”

You should know, she wants to tell him. Since you killed her.

Did he? Maybe her child is still out there. Waiting for her mother to find her. But no one else will ask the questions it will take to find out.

Until into her life walks Russell Pierce, a software magnate who also has a lost daughter. Eighteen-year-old Thomasina is running from him. No surprise: the girl thinks he murdered her mother, his wife.

“I have money,” Pierce tells Sarah. “I can help you find out what happened to your daughter if you’ll help me make peace with mine.”

Among the Lost Children is the three-book story of Sarah’s search for her daughter and her own sanity amid desperate choices that test her courage and will. In Book 1, Among the Bones, she begins to learn what getting answers will cost her. She discovers more than she was looking for.
