Blessing of the Lost Girls A Brady and Walker Family Novel By J. A. Jance
In the gripping thriller, "Hunted," a cold-blooded killer known as Charles Milton stalks the rodeo circuit, preying on vulnerable young women, particularly Indigenous women whom he believes law enforcement will overlook. When Dan Pardee, a field officer with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People’s Task Force, is assigned to the cold case of Rosa Rios, a young Apache woman who vanished years ago, he is determined to bring her killer to justice.
With the help of Sheriff Joanna Brady and her daughter Jennifer, Dan reopens Rosa's case, uncovering chilling evidence that links her disappearance to a string of murders. As Jennifer, who knew Rosa from their rodeo days, delves deeper into the investigation, she realizes that she and Dan are racing against time to catch a ruthless predator who has evaded capture for years.
As the stakes rise and the body count mounts, Dan feels a personal obligation to capture the killer, as the orphaned son of a murdered Indigenous woman himself. With law enforcement's history of overlooking crimes against Indigenous women, Dan, Joanna, and Jennifer must navigate a dangerous landscape of deception and betrayal to bring justice to Rosa's family and stop the killer before he strikes again.
