Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro usually trace missing adults, but a family's appeal draws them into the disappearance of a little girl. Their familiarity with working-class Boston opens doors closed to the police, including contacts tied to the child's mother's drug use. Following those leads forces Patrick to test the judgment of experienced detectives and people he has known for years.
