A USA TODAY Bestseller An NPR Best Book of 2024 A Goodreads Best Thriller of 2024 In this "page-turning suspense novel, shrewd character study, and captivating mystery" (Stephen King) Detective Chelsey Calhoun's life is turned upside down when she gets the call that Ellie Black, a girl who disappeared years earlier, has resurfaced in the woods of Washington state--but her reappearance leaves Chelsey with more questions than answers. It's been twenty years since Detective Chelsey Calhoun's sister vanished when they were teenagers, and ever since she's been searching: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. But happy endings are rare in Chelsey's line of work. Then a glimmer: local teenager Ellie Black, who disappeared without a trace two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington state. But something is not right with Ellie. She won't say where she's been, or who she's protecting, and it's up to Chelsey to find the answers. She needs to get to the bottom of what happened to Ellie: for herself, and for the memory of her sister, but mostly for the next girl who could be taken--and who, unlike Ellie, might never return. The "haunting and evocative" debut thriller from New York Times bestselling author Emiko Jean, The Return of Ellie Black is both a feminist tour de force about the embers of hope that burn in the aftermath of tragedy and a "gripping psychological thriller" (The Seattle Times) that will shock you right up until the final page.

ET ENKELT OPKALD FORANDRER ALT I en alder af 35 år har Mika Suzuki ikke styr på ret meget i sit kaotiske liv. Hendes seneste forhold er endt katastrofalt. Hun er en evig skuffelse for sine meget traditionsbundne japanske forældre. Og hun er igen blevet fyret fra endnu et håbløst job. Hendes tilværelse er på et absolut lavpunkt, da hun modtager et telefonopkald fra Penny – den datter, hun bortadopterede 16 år tidligere. Penny vil gerne have et forhold til sin biologiske mor, efter at hun har mistet sin adoptivmor. I sin iver efter at imponere sin datter kommer Mika til at pynte lidt rigeligt på sandheden om sit liv. Det, der begynder som en lille hvid løgn ender med, at Mika pludselig har tegnet et billede af sig selv som moden, ansvarsbevidst og succesfuld i både karriere og kærlighed. Kan Mika endelig få den familie, hun har drømt om, eller vil løgnene i sidste ende indhente hende? Og hvem er egentlig den rigtige Mika?
