Of Things Unseen

Black girls are disappearing in suburban Atlanta and no one is paying attention…

Sick and troubled Atlanta housewife Tamara Johnston has spent years trying to forget her past, but when she learns four black girls have disappeared near her hometown, the memories haunt her once again. As a favor (and to exorcise her own demons), she agrees to help a journalist friend publicize the cases of the missing girls. Thanks to their efforts, the story goes viral and the police are forced to get involved. When bodies are discovered, the department sends local detective Barrington Dunn to calm the angry and grieving community.

But something is off. Barrington is a robbery detective who’s never worked a homicide and the department doesn’t seem serious about solving the murders. What’s worse, they’ve left him with only one good lead…a police sketch. And when it’s released to the media, Tamara’s world is turned upside down.

The sketch looks like someone she knows.

Now Tamara is convinced the murders are connected to horrific events from her childhood, and she’s certain she knows who did it. There’s only one problem: no one believes her. As she returns to her hometown to unravel the secrets and lies from her past, including her own, Detective Dunn must navigate racial politics, departmental sabotage, and his growing attraction to Tamara in order to catch a crafty serial killer before he kills again. And for Tamara, the shocking truth is worse than she could have imagined.
