The Girl from Nowhere

Emily dropped the coffee cup she was holding, watching it shatter on the kitchen floor. On television, a woman nervously introduced herself as Danica Hansen-the girl Emily used to be. When Special Agent Emily Ray is assigned to verify the identity of Kaveri Miller Browne, a missing heiress who's reappeared after eighteen years, it should be routine. DNA proves identity. Case closed. But then Emily discovers another found woman claiming to be Danica Hansen-a name buried in Emily's past. As Emily investigates the retired detective who miraculously found both missing women, a former Browne family servant dies mysteriously in her care facility and a young woman who knew Kaveri vanishes from a desert town. With each death, Emily realizes she's not just investigating fraud-she's uncovered a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of power. Emily Ray knows exactly what happened to the real Danica Hansen. She knows because she's been living that girl's secret every day since she was fifteen. But now someone has plucked a forgotten girl from obscurity and given her Emily's discarded identity, and Emily faces an impossible choice: Expose the conspiracy and risk revealing the secret that could destroy everything she's built. Or stay silent while innocent lives hang in the balance. The explosive third installment in the addictive Special Agent Emily Ray series delivers shocking twists that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Melinda Leigh.
