About this listen

 #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner returns with the 4th installment in her bestselling Frankie Elkin series, in which Frankie is called to Tucson, Arizona, to find a missing Afghan refugee, whose friend suspects she is in grave danger—before it is too late.

A young mother haunted by war, determined to make a fresh start. But sometimes, the sins of the past aren't so easy to escape.

Recent Afghan refugee Sabera Ahmadi was last seen exiting her place of work three weeks ago. The local police have yet to open a case, while her older, domineering husband seems unconcerned. Sabera's closest friend, however, is convinced Sabera would never willingly leave her three‑year old daughter. At her insistence, missing persons expert Frankie Elkin agrees to take up the search through the broiling streets of Tucson. Just in time for a video of the young mother to surface—showing her walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder.

Frankie quickly notes there's much more to the Ahmadi family than meets the eye. The father Isaad is a brilliant mathematician, Sabera a gifted linguist, and their little girl Zahra has an uncanny ability to remember anything she sees. Which given everything that has happened during the girl's short life, may be a terrible curse. When Isaad also disappears under mysterious circumstances and an attempt is made on Zahra's life, Frankie realizes she must quickly crack the code of this family's horrific past.

Someone is coming for the Ahmadis. And violence is clearly an option. When everything is on the line, how far would you go to protect the ones you love?

This is my least favourite Frankie Elkin Novel.
Books written in 2 different time frames which seem to be the trend in new novels are also my least favourite.
The situation in which the victims find themselves are yet another of my least favourites.
I finished this novel because it was a purchase that I didn’t want to return.
I am hoping that the next Frankie Elkin novel be more to my liking.

I was so eagerly awaiting this 4th Frankie novel, however this one just didn’t do it for me. The story was unbelievable. Too many characters with weak connections. I could barely finish it. I was thinking to request my credit back. Listen, I’m a huge Frankie fan, but this book just didn’t hold up.
