The doorbell chimes loudly. Her husband answers. Muffled voices. Then a crash. The sound of her husband's body falling to the floor. "Joseph...?" Her voice wobbles. And she knows instantly-she should have stayed silent...Ex-cop Sally Fairburn has put the world of crime behind her, but when her old boss contacts her about working her first case as a detective, she can't resist. The high-profile Austin case will be her first opportunity to prove herself. Retired accountant Joseph Austin has been found dead and his wife, Fiona, in a coma, in their exclusive Peakhurst mansion. It's a suspected burglary gone wrong, but something about the murder scene doesn't add up: why is nothing valuable missing? Nobody seems to know who might want to hurt this sweet old pair, but as Sally investigates, she discovers the wealthy couple weren't as popular as she first thought. They'd been embroiled in heated arguments with their neighbor, ex-con Salvador Sobral, for months. His is the strongest motive she can find. But before Sally can pounce, she receives a chilling call. Sobral has been brutally murdered with a thin strip of wire. Racing to find the missing link between the murders, Sally grows ever more desperate to catch the killer-especially when her violent ex-husband returns to his post with the Franklin police department, determined to discredit her. Fiona Austin holds the answers Sally needs. But will she come round from her coma before the murderer strikes again?

"He's killing me." For weeks, Carolyn Tate's suspicions that her husband is trying to kill her have been ignored-by her neighbors, her friends and even her family. But just two hours after her last attempt to make someone listen, her body is discovered. Carolyn's neighbor, ex-police officer Sally Fairburn, is determined to seek justice for her friend's death. But although Carolyn suspected her husband, Sally finds no evidence he was involved. And Carolyn's best friends are strangely quick to defend him...

The little girl fidgets in her seat, wringing the ends of her scarf in a rush of panic. She tugs at the car door handle but it doesn't open. Tears well in her eyes. "I want my mommy." Four years ago, six young girls were snatched from the streets of quiet, suburban Pioneer Heights-chilling, fake "missing" posters of each victim hung around town just before they were taken. Ex-police officer Sally Fairburn has always been haunted by the case and their inability to bring the girls home. Having lost her own daughter, she knows only too well the pain it brings... Four years on, the wide brown eyes and neat braids of twelve-year-old Anna Moorhouse-the last girl to disappear-still plague Sally's dreams. She has never stopped fighting to bring the devastated families back together, but all leads have gone cold. Until Sally receives a chilling call out of the blue: their former main suspect, in prison for another crime, wants to talk to her... alone. Desperate for answers, Sally races to interview him. But a horrifying discovery stops her in her tracks: a missing poster-on her daily running route, in the same style used four years ago-with Sally's own face on it... Not only is Sally in grave danger, but the more threats she receives, the more convinced she becomes that the killer is a lot closer to home than she ever could have imagined... But can Sally finally catch him before any more innocents disappear-and before Sally herself becomes his next victim...? Fans of Lisa Regan, Greg Olsen and Melinda Leigh will love this gripping new crime thriller series. Prepare to stay up all night! What readers are saying about Next Girl Missing: "Whoa!!
