What if the person avenging your sister’s death isn’t you—but someone who knows more than you ever did? In Missing Sister, Joshilyn Jackson delivers a chilling, character-driven thriller that explores the razor-thin line between justice and obsession. The novel follows Penny Albright, a rookie cop still reeling from the tragic death of her twin, Nix, five years earlier. Born three minutes apart, the sisters were inseparable—until Nix’s sudden death and a cryptic voicemail left Penny drowning in guilt and unanswered questions.

Now working in law enforcement to honor Nix’s dream of making the world safer, Penny is called to her first murder scene and comes face-to-face with Danny Bowery, one of the three men she’s long blamed for her sister’s death. He’s sprawled in a pool of blood outside an upscale Atlanta shopping center, as if conjured by Penny’s long-harbored anger. And then there’s the blonde woman in blood-soaked clothes gripping a box cutter—a woman who hints that Bowery’s murder is only the beginning of a larger story about sisters before vanishing into thin air.
