But his easy routine is shattered when he starts the Linklater case. Sixteen-year-old Abbie Linklater has been missing from home for three days. Her mother believes Abbie's getting an abortion. Her twin brother thinks she's studying at the library. Her best friend could care less. Her father has no idea, but has an aversion to involving the police. Before the sun sets on the first day of his investigation, Bird has roamed the streets of Toronto looking for a runaway, caught a drifter prowling in the Linklater's backyard, been led to a creepy church with a cult-like following, sparred with the client, been hit by a car, and discovered some loose ends in a bank robbery gone wrong from a decade earlier."--

Rabbit hole / a novel / by Brody, Kate,author.(CARDINAL)883672;
"Ten years ago, Theodora "Teddy" Angstrom's older sister, Angie, disappeared. Her case remains unsolved. Now-on the anniversary of Angie's disappearance-Teddy's father, Mark, has killed himself. Unbeknownst to Mark's family, he had been actively investigating conspiracy theories sourced from a Reddit community of true crime fans fixated on Angie, and Teddy soon finds herself falling down that same rabbit hole. After all, if hope dies last, Angie could still be alive. Teddy's burgeoning investigation quickly gets her in hot water with everyone from her frustrated colleagues at the pretentious high school where she teaches English to her middle-aged gun nut boyfriend and her long-lost half-brother. Further complicating matters is Teddy's growing obsession with Mickey, a charming amateur sleuth from Reddit who is eerily keen on helping Teddy solve the case. Bewitched by Mickey, Teddy begins losing her grip on morality. As she struggles to reconcile new information with old memories, her erratic behavior reaches a fever pitch, but she won't stop until she finds Angie-or destroys herself in the process. In Rabbit Hole, debut author Kate Brody has crafted a biting critique of the Internet's voyeuristic boundary trampling, an equally outrageous and heart-wrenching character study of a mind twisted by grief, and a page-turning mystery that's as addictive as a late-night Reddit binge."--

Read by Alex Kiester and Saskia Maarleveld."Two women haunted by their sisters' unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here and host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie. Nicole "Nic" Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, she's just gotten a DWI, and she works the same dead-end job she's been working since high school, a job she only has because her boss is a family friend and feels sorry for her. Everyone has felt sorry for her for the last seven years-since the day her older sister, Kasey, vanished without a trace. On the night Kasey went missing, her car was found over a hundred miles from home. The driver's door was open and her purse was untouched in the seat next to it. The only real clue in her disappearance was Jules Connor, another young woman from the same area who disappeared in the same way, two weeks earlier. But with so little for the police to go on, both their cases eventually went cold. Nic wants nothing more than to move on-from her sister's disappearance and the state it's left her in. But then one day, Jules's sister, Jenna Connor, walks into her life and offers Nic something she hasn't felt in a long time: hope. What follows is a gripping tale of two sisters who will do anything to find their missing halves, even if it means destroying everything they've ever known."Adult.Playaway Digital Audio.
