Missing, Presumed Dead

When eighteen-year-old Lexi foresees the brutal murder of a young woman outside a club in downtown L.A., she is powerless to stop it. But then the girl''s ghost appears, seeking vengeance, and Lexi is swept into a dangerous search that could put her directly in the path of a serial killer. From the author of Devils Unto Dust , this fast-paced and literary thriller will haunt fans of Maureen Johnson''s Truly Devious and Karen M. McManus''s One of Us Is Lying. With a touch, Lexi can sense how and when someone will die. Some say it''s a gift. But to Lexi it''s a curse--one that keeps her friendless and alone. All that changes when Lexi foresees the violent death of a young woman, Jane, outside a club. Jane doesn''t go to the afterlife quietly. Her ghost remains behind, determined to hunt down her murderer, and she needs Lexi''s help. In life, Jane was everything Lexi is not--outgoing, happy, popular. But in death, all Jane wants is revenge. Lexi will do anything to help Jane, to make up for the fact that she didn''t-- couldn''t-- save Jane''s life, and to keep this beautiful ghost of a girl by her side for as long as possible. Emma Berquist''s second novel is a haunting and atmospheric murder mystery that tackles themes of depression, loneliness, love, and identity. This high-concept novel is for fans of Holly Black''s The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and Tahereh Mafi''s Shatter Me series.>
