The Trunk That Came Back Alone

Maggie Vail and her little daughter Ella May disappear. Their trunk comes back alone. Mara and Julian follow the clothes, witnesses, aliases, and disputed experiments that helped investigators reconstruct a journey near Saint John. Behind a respectable appearance lies a devastating crime—and a trial that has to answer the simplest question first: who was found? Content note: Murder of a woman and young child, intimate-partner violence and execution; no graphic reconstruction.
