נעמי, בלשית פרטית המתמחה באיתור ילדים שנעלמו, הבטיחה לעצמה שלא תיקח מקרה נוסף לפני שתמצא את אחותה הצעירה שנחטפה ביחד איתה לפני שנים רבות ומאז לא נודעו עקבותיה...

Vor drei Jahren, als ihre Familie nach einem Weihnachtsbaum in den frostigen Wäldern von Oregon suchte, verschwand Madison Culver. Drei Jahre - und immer noch keine Spur von der damals Fünfjährigen. Ist sie tot? Doch eine Leiche hat man bisher nicht finden können.

Vor 20 Jahren verschwand ihre Schwester. Naomi selbst hat kaum Erinnerungen an dieses Ereignis – und doch will die »Kinderfinderin« die Spur aufnehmen. Die Suche führt sie direkt in die Dunkelheit von Portland in Oregon, wo mehr Kinder auf der Straße leben als im Rest des Landes. Und immer wieder findet man die Leichen junger Mädchen im Fluss ... Dort trifft Naomi auf Celia, ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen, das vor ihren Eltern geflohen ist.

Three years ago, Madison Culver disappeared when her family was choosing a Christmas tree in Oregon's Skookum National Forest. She would be eight years old now - if she has survived. Desperate to find their beloved daughter, certain someone took her, the Culvers turn to Naomi, a private investigator with an uncanny talent for locating the lost and missing. Known to the police and a select group of parents as "the Child Finder", Naomi is their last hope.

Naomi Cottle finds missing children. When the police have given up their search and an investigation stalls, families call her. She possesses a rare intuitive sense, born out of her own experience, which allows her to succeed when others have failed. Young Madison Culver has been missing for three years. She vanished on a family trip to the mountainous forests of Oregon, where they'd gone to cut down a tree for Christmas.

Naomi Cottle is an investigator who finds missing children. But the one child she has never been able to find is her sister. The two were abducted when they were very young, but only Naomi managed to escape. Now, 20 years later, there is at long last a clue that her sister might still be alive.

A prisoner sits on death row in a high-security prison. His only escape is through the words he dreams about, the world he conjures around him using the power of language. For the reality of his world is brutal and stark. He is not named, nor do we know his crime. But he listens. He listens to the story of York, the prisoner in the cell next to him who has been sentenced to death. He hears The Lady, a mitigation specialist who is piecing together York's past. He watches as The Lady falls in love with The Priest and wonders if love is still possible in this place.

A year ago, Naomi, the investigator with an uncanny ability for finding missing children, made a promise that she would not take another case until she finds the younger sister who has been missing for years. Naomi has no picture, not even a name. All she has is a vague memory of a strawberry field at night, black dirt under her bare feet as she ran for her life.

The enchanted place is an ancient stone prison, viewed through the eyes of a death row inmate who finds escape in his books and in re-imagining life around him, weaving a fantastical story of the people he observes and the world he inhabits. Fearful and reclusive, he senses what others cannot. Though bars confine him every minute of every day, he marries visions of golden horses running beneath the prison, heat flowing like molten metal from their backs with the devastating violence of prison life.

Twenty years ago, a nine-year-old boy was swept away by powerful waves on a remote Oregon beach, his body lost to the sea. Only a stone memorial remains to mark his tragic death. For most of her life, Amanda Dufresne had no idea she had an older brother named Dennis Owens, or that he had died. Adopted as a baby, she learned about him while looking into her late birth mother, and is curious to know more about this lost sibling. A solitary young woman, Amanda has always felt distanced from the world around her. Her brain works differently from others, leaving her feeling set apart.
