A mutilated body is found lying on the ground in Chicago, a dead hand pointing down Adams Street, also known as Route 66, a road of many names. And now of many deaths. A silent caravan of cars, dozens of them, drives down the road, each passenger bearing a photograph, but none of them the same. They are the parents of missing children, some recently disappeared, some gone a decade or more - all brought together by the word that children's gravesites are being discovered along the Mother Road. Detective Sergeant Kathy Mallory drives with them. The child she seeks, though, is not like the others. It is herself - the feral child adopted off the streets, her father unknown, her mother dead, their past a mystery. During the next few extraordinary days, Mallory will find herself hunting a killer like none she has come across before, and uncovering the secrets that have haunted her all her life.

Euro edition of "Find Me",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shark Music (Paperback)
For more information about the story, check out the reviews of "Find Me"This particular edition is large format, with nicely imbossed art work on the cover. I have no idea wht the marketing idea is for changing the title for the European edition, except perhaps to attract suckers like me who must have everything from this author. But this title, as a summary of the story, is just as good as "Find Me"

Different titles for the same book,
By f l (south orange, nj USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shark Music. Carol O'Connell (Paperback)
It would be helpful if the original title were given.It is frustrating to find that the book we thought we had not read turns out to be the same as one we had, just under a different title. i.e. indicate that the British edition title is the exact same book as "such and such" original American title.
