A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark
obsession and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet
Iowa town, from the New York Times bestselling
author of The Weight of Silence.
For twelve-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was
supposed to be an ordinary sleepover—movies and Ouija and talking about boys.
But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the
outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have
dangerous consequences.
Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to
life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon their small rural town is thrust into a
maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora—and why? In an
investigation that leaves no stone unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can
be trusted—not even those closest to Cora.
Before She Was Found is a timely and gripping thriller about friendship and
betrayal, about the power of social pressure and the price of needing to fit in. It
is about the great lengths a parent will go to protect their child and keep them
safe—even if that means burying the truth, no matter the cost.
