The Lost Girl,: A Fati Rizvi Private Investigator Mystery - 9781777901028

A missing young girl, a shifty professor, a drug house - in an idyllic summer, dark secrets are brewing on a picture-perfect college campus in sunny Vancouver... Monica Lin is missing. Her parents are frantic with worry. But her sister is dismissive and her roommates are unconcerned. After all, Monica has disappeared before. In her bright red convertible that no one knows how she could afford. Maybe she's with a sugar daddy, high as a cloud with glazed eyes and no sense of time. She'll return when she's ready, her roommates say. But why has she switched off her phone? As Private Investigator, Fati Rizvi, starts to peel the layers of Monica's life, she discovers a troubled young girl who had become a shell of herself. When Monica first arrived at West Coast College, she was shy, studious, and spent her time at part-time jobs to support herself. Three years in, she barely attended class, floated about in a drug-induced stupor, and charged five hundred dollars per date. Did something happen to Monica to cause this radical transformation? A forbidden love who turned on her? A teacher she trusted who abandoned her? Friends who took advantage of her? Or her own family who had given up on her? And then, the lifeless body is found with vacant eyes staring up at the sky, and things take a dark turn. Fati knows the secret to solving the case is to dig deeper into Monica's past and the events that led her here. Everyone in Monica's inner circle is harboring secrets they are desperate to protect. But Fati is determined that she won't rest until the killer is brought to justice.
