Sinopse

She picked up the wrong file, and now everything is falling apart.

 
-“Absolutely chilling.” Rebmay
 
-“This is a story I personally don’t want to believe is possible, but in today’s world it is, unfortunately, too believable, and horrifying.” Catlou

 
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. When social worker Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, she discovers a shocking, twisted mystery plotted by a high-ranking social worker in the DCFS.
 

 
When Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, before she realizes her mistake, she discovers a secret no one was supposed to find.
 
She takes the file to the newly appointed chief of police, Mark Friessen, but he doesn’t believe her—that is, until they discover dozens more files and missing money from vulnerable at-risk children who have aged out of the system and are living on the streets.
 
As she digs into the files, the system, and the people involved, everything falls apart.
 
And what Mark and Billy Jo discover is a secret far more shocking than missing money.
