    About this audiobook

    A new home, a new marriage, a new family. It's a lot to sort out. But before medicolegal death investigator Mattie can smooth out the unexpected chaos of her new life, duty calls. At the local ER, a battered and bruised teenage girl has been brought in by a mysterious man who claimed she'd fallen out of a car. The staff is suspicious, but while they attend to the teenager, the unidentified man slips out. Then the girl dies, but not before informing social worker Hildy Schneider that the man had her little sister as well.

    Mattie's exam reveals forensic evidence of long-term IV drug use and physical abuse, findings consistent with Hildy's suspicion that the girl was a victim of human trafficking. They are able to confirm her identity as a teen who went missing six months ago, along with her sister-facts that are deeply unsettling to Mattie, who now shares a home with her husband's teenaged daughter.

    Working closely with Hildy and homicide detectives, including her husband Steve Hurley, Mattie must delve into a dark underworld to stop the ruthless trafficking of human lives-before it's too late for another young girl . . .

    • 4/5
      I do loveRyan’s books! They have humor, kindness, love, and a great story.!
    • 4/5
      First of all, I love Mattie Winston, the protagonist and narrator of this novel! She is a nurse who has become a "medicolegal death investigator" in a small rural town in Wisconsin. The author blends details of Mattie's complicated personal life with her dedication to solving murder cases by studying the bodies of victims, assisted by her staff of interesting characters. As she assists the cops (one of whom is her husband) in investigating the case of a teenage girl and her sister, she puts her own life in danger. All peppered with humorous side stories!
