<b>"I'm always looking for a good thriller, and this just was perfect."</b>--Nancy Pearl, NPR's <i>Morning Edition</i><br /><b>“Opening this book is like arming a bomb--the suspense is relentless and the payoff is spectacular. Lead character Alice Vega is sensational--I want to see lots more of her.â€</b>--Lee Child<br /><b>"Sensational."</b> <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br /><b>"A must-read for fans of strong female protagonists.'</b><i>--Booklist </i>(starred review)<br /><br />   As addictive, cinematic, and binge-worthy a narrative as <i>The Wire </i>and <i>The Killing</i>, <i>Two Girls Down </i>introduces Louisa Luna as a thriller writer of immense talent and verve.   <br />   When two young sisters disappear from a strip mall parking lot in a small Pennsylvania town, their devastated mother hires an enigmatic bounty hunter, Alice Vega, to help find the girls. Immediately shut out by a local police department already stretched thin by budget cuts and the growing OxyContin and meth epidemic, Vega enlists the help of a disgraced former cop, Max Caplan. Cap is a man trying to put the scandal of his past behind him and move on, but Vega needs his help to find the girls, and she will not be denied. <br />   With little to go on, Vega and Cap will go to extraordinary lengths to untangle a dangerous web of lies, false leads, and complex relationships to find the girls before time runs out, and they are gone forever.
