The Missing Girl by Jacqueline Doyle
A driver lures a young girl into his car. A woman recalls a not-so- innocent childhood game. A high school girl is murdered. A girl speaks up after a crime-- but is she telling the truth? In Jacqueline Doyle' s collection of flash fictions THE MISSING GIRL, the voicelessness of the missing is palpable, the girls' stories whispered into a vacuum or recounted from the point of view of a predator, murderer, or voyeur. Violence lurks below the surface here, haunts the back pages of newspapers, takes up residence in your dreams. You know a missing girl." In these dark and edgy stories, Jacqueline Doyle has made a dispassionate study of the degradation of girls and the twisted hearts of those who harm them. ... Prepare to be very disturbed." -Elizabeth McKenzie
" Mesmerizing and unforgettable." -Meg Tuite
