A sun-drenched Costa del Sol crime mystery packed with missing girls, human trafficking, and a detective who refuses to walk away.
Two girls vanished without a trace. One came back dead.
Jacaranda Dunne—known to everyone as JD—is an ex-Metropolitan police officer who has moved to Málaga to open a detective agency. After the chaos of London, life on the Costa del Sol feels painfully ordinary: missing dogs, stolen passports, and cheating husbands.
Then a desperate woman arrives at her office clutching a photograph of her daughter, Sophie.
The previous summer, Sophie and her best friend Julie vanished without a trace. Despite a major police investigation, neither girl was ever found. Now Julie’s body has turned up in Málaga, but the police have closed the case.
Convinced the investigation ended too soon, Sophie’s mother turns to JD as her last hope.
As JD digs deeper into the darker side of the Costa del Sol, she finds herself pulled into a world of trafficking, exploitation, and dangerous secrets that somebody wants left buried.
Sophie is Still Missing is Book 1 in The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries series. Perfect for readers who love female private investigators, atmospheric crime noir, and gritty mysteries by Robert Galbraith, Sue Grafton, and Sara Paretsky.
