About this listen
Laurie Ahmadi has worked as a 911 police dispatcher in her quiet Northern California town for almost two decades, but nothing in her nearly twenty years of experience could prepare her for the worst call of her career—her teenage daughter, Jojo, is on the other end of the line. She is drugged, disoriented, and in pain, and even though the whole police department springs into action, there is nothing Laurie can do to help.
Jojo, who has been sexually assaulted, doesn’t remember how she ended up at the home of Kevin Leeds, a pro football player famous for his work with the Citizens Against Police Brutality movement, though she insists he would never hurt her. And she has no idea where her best friend, Harper, who was with her earlier in the evening, could be.
As Jojo and Laurie begin digging into Harper’s private messages on social media to look for clues to her whereabouts, they uncover a conspiracy far bigger than they ever could have imagined. With Kevin’s freedom on the line and the chances of finding Harper unharmed slipping away, Laurie and Jojo begin to realize that they can’t trust anyone to find Harper except themselves, not even the police department they’ve long considered family . . . and time is running out.
She is an author whose characters have voices.
This is her first thriller. it is awesome.
It's also the first I've listened to; I listen in the car on my commute. Only I've listened to the end of this in bed with my daughter's cat on my lap; she demanded cuddles as I got home and I couldn't leave the end until tomorrow.
Read it. Gasp. Be shocked.
and yes, my first title for this review simply said, Fuuuuuck!

She is a 911 dispatcher and has been for nearly 20 years, she loves her job and the people in her department, and thinks of them as her family.
The rest of the department feel the same way toward her, and have watched her daughter grow up, and think of Jojo as one of their own, Jojo knows them all and loves visiting the station to see everyone.
Laurie's husband Omir is the Chief, and is the first Arab American to rise to that position, and Laurie is very, very proud of his achievements.
Whilst at work one day Laurie and her work colleague play their usual game of 'who can answer first', Laurie wins and answers the call, it turns out to be one of the worst days of her life!
"911 how can i direct your call"
"Mama"
"Jojo?"
“Mama? Help me.”
Jojo wakes up in pain, she doesn't know where she is, or how she got there, she is really scared, and where the hell is her best friend Harper?
Kevin is a Pro football player, but why is Jojo in his house, and why is there a beaten bloody corpse in his bathroom?
With things not seeing quite right Jojo and Laurie become detectives and start diving into the clues left behind to try and find out where Harper is, does someone have her? Is she ok?
When Laurie and Jojo stumble across something that should have never been found, they start to think that they don't know anyone at all.
This one will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat, it literally dives straight in to the action, and doesn't let up for a minute.
