A great cold case is solved by Kinsey in this never forgotten story of the town slut who disappears with her brand new car and yippy Pomeranian in 1953. 34 years later, the missing women's daughter, Daisy, hires Kinsey to look into the disappearance. Most townsfolk believe Violet ran off with an unknown lover, but those involved in law enforcement always suspected someone got away with murder.
Daisy needs an answer in order for her to move on with her life--did her mom leave her behind when she ran off to a new life or did something more sinister happen that has left no trace of Violet in all this time?
Grafton makes good use of flashback chapters to tell the part each main character played in the days leading up to the 4th of July when Violet never came home.
