Throughout this suspenseful book, Murray and Gates work separately to discover Nikki's fate, confronting some of their own demons in the process. Deputy sheriff Gates thinks that a troubled 22-year-old who has come through social services may know more than anyone suspects. Murray, a loner in high school who quietly converses with the spirits of dead children and adolescents in the local cemetery, hears a new voice pleading for help, and wonders whether it could be Nikki. In brief, compulsively readable chapters, the author shifts the perspective among various interested parties. When Nikki vanishes without a trace, her disappearance devastates the community. This superb debut novel concerns two very different individuals trying to discover the fate of a high school cheerleader who disappeared from a small California town.
