Without a Word

"[A] heartfelt . . . complex portrait of a severely damaged child and her emotionally cut-off father" and the PI and her service dog who sign on to save them (Publishers Weekly).

A missing mother. A child made mute by the trauma. A distraught father willing to do anything to help his daughter. It's the kind of case private investigator Rachel Alexander can't walk away from—even though finding the girl's mother seems hopeless. Sally Spector disappeared five years ago without a trace. But with young Madison now accused of murdering the neurologist who was managing her care, her father is desperate to find the key to unlocking Madison's silence. Drawn to the troubled girl, how can Rachel refuse?

Along with her pit bull Dashiell, Rachel starts putting together what clues she can find. What she uncovers is a case more complex and disturbing than she ever imagined. Suddenly Rachel understands that there are problems in this world some might be willing to die for—or kill for.
