The New York Times called “a psychological
suspense story smartly narrated” comes The Girl Without A Name (Grand Central Publishing; an original
trade paperback; September 8, 2015; $14.99) a powerful novel of memory and
forgetting, of unexpected friendship and understanding...and of the secrets we
protect no matter the consequences.
In what passes for
an ordinary day in a psych ward, Dr. Zoe Goldman is stumped when a highly
unusual case arrives. A young African American girl, found wandering the
streets of Buffalo in a catatonic state, is brought in by police. No one has
come forward to claim her, and all leads have been exhausted.
When medical
science seems to be failing, Zoe takes matters into her own hands to track down
Jane Doe's family and piece together their checkered history. As she unearths
their secrets, she finds that monsters hide where they are least expected. Now
she must solve the mystery before it is too late. Because someone wants to make
sure this young girl never remembers.
