About this ebook
Detective Voss has learned never to ignore an anonymous tip, especially when missing girls are involved. The newest message is only a whisper: they are in the dollhouse, and she missed one. It leads her to the abandoned Vane House, a decaying property known locally as the House of Marionettes, where a vanished dollmaker once filled rooms with unsettling figures modeled after his missing daughter. What Voss finds there is worse than folklore. A doll bears details only someone close to her could know. A list contains names connected to vanished girls. And an old case she thought she understood begins opening into a pattern that reaches through foster homes, sealed basements, erased records, and ignored calls for help. Voss has a personal reason to keep digging. Her own sister, River, disappeared years ago, and every unresolved case carries the possibility that River was not simply lost but selected. As new deaths and disappearances echo older ones, the detective follows evidence left by traumatized survivors who were taught that silence meant safety and escape meant betrayal. The deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is chasing one predator, a wider network, or survivors still protecting something they were trained never to reveal. To find the forgotten, Voss must confront the cases her department missed and the possibility that the trail she has chased for years has been closer to home than she ever imagined.
