My Daughter Is Not Missing - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Every Sunday at six, she answers.

That's how I know she's gone.

For eleven years Helen has called her daughter at six o'clock. Tess always picks up. Not always on the first ring. Not always in a good mood. But she answers.

On the second Sunday in October, Tess says she made soup. She asks about the knee. She says love you.

Tess does not say that.

She has never sent a heart. Not on a birthday. Not from a hospital parking lot. Not once in eleven years of messages Helen has never deleted.

The apartment in Ballard is too clean. The passport is gone. The bed has been made by someone taught by someone else.

The company in the glass building by the lake says the account is in good standing. Twenty dollars a month. A voice trained on a year of her daughter's phone. A product called Cover: thirty days of being gone, on purpose.

The detective will not open a case. The daughter is still answering. So she is not missing.

Helen drives a school bus in the Skagit Valley. She knows children by their shoes. She knows what a person sounds like when they are being themselves - and what they sound like when they have decided to be nice.

Somebody is being nice to her.

Then who is it?

My Daughter Is Not Missing is a psychological suspense novel about a mother, a voice that should not be that kind, and the man sitting in the trusted-contact seat.
