Girls Without Tears

A missing child, a distraught mother, and a killer on the loose set the stage for a brutal bloodbath in the Florida Everglades in this thrilling read, perfect for fans of Wendy Walker and Jeff Lindsay.

When six-year-old Skye disappears from Everglades City, Noa is hesitant to return to her hometown to help with the search effort. Skye is the daughter of Noa's ex, Zack, and Taylor, the girl he dumped her for. The townspeople have always misunderstood Noa's medical condition, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain.

But the real pain is only beginning for Noa. Her childhood friend, Jamie, is assaulted by a vagrant, Noa intervenes in a violent counterattack-and the man's fingerprints are found near Skye's DNA. As Noa gets closer to the truth of who kidnapped Skye, she starts to uncover secrets about her hometown that she didn't expect.

Nothing and no one are what they seem in this small Florida backwater-and any good friend can quickly become a deadly enemy.
