Forgotten Girls

A Detroit Cold Case Thriller

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Three bodies. Thirty-five years buried. One cop's signature on all three cases.

Detroit detective Jordan Cross thought she'd seen the worst the city could offer. Then construction workers found three skeletons in a condemned basement—teenage girls, locked in and left to die in 1989.

The department called them runaways. Closed the cases in days. Moved on.

But Jordan finds the pattern. Same neighborhood. Same six-month window. Same investigating officer on all three reports: Patrol Officer Edward Brennan.

Now he's Deputy Chief Brennan. Thirty-five years of climbing ranks. Seven commendations. Spotless record.

And Jordan has witnesses who saw him watching the girls before they disappeared.

As she digs deeper, the cases Brennan buried start surfacing. More missing girls. More convenient runaways. More files marked closed by the same cop. The system protected him for decades—and it's not done protecting him yet.

Jordan's been a cop long enough to know how this goes. Go after a Deputy Chief, you'd better have everything. No mistakes. No gaps. Because he'll bury you just like he buried them.

Three girls deserved better than Detroit gave them. Jordan Cross is about to deliver.

For fans of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad—a gritty, unflinching thriller about the cases that don't close and the detectives who won't stop digging.
