The End Game

The End Game
by Gerrie Ferris Finger

Moriah Dru, owner of Child Trace Inc., teams up with Atlanta Police detective, Richard Lake to finding two missing girls. The girls, Dottie and Jessie Rose, vanish when their home catches on fire and their foster parents, Ed and Wanda Barnes die in the flames. As Moriah and Richard search for the girls they learn that Dottie and Jessie are not first children to have disappeared from the Cabbagetown neighborhood of Atlanta in the past eight years. A tip from an informant leads Dru and Lake to believe that the girls may be in the hands of child traffickers planning to sell them to wealthy South Americans. They work to find the girls before they can be taken out of the country. This fast paced novel won the 2009 Malice Domestic Best First Traditional Mystery Novel Competition. Gerrie Ferris Finger tackles the grim topic of child trafficking with sensitivity.
