Award-winning and Boston Globe bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan
presents a spine-chilling, heart-wrenching suspense novel that explores a
terrifying scenario striking at the heart of every family.

Does a respected adoption agency have a frightening secret? Tipped off
by a determined ex-colleague on a desperate quest to find her birth
mother, Boston newspaper reporter Jane Ryland begins to suspect that the
agency is engaging in the ultimate betrayal—reuniting birth parents
with the wrong children.

For detective Jake Brogan and his partner, a young woman’s brutal murder
seems a sadly predictable case of domestic violence, one that results
in two toddlers being shuttled into the foster care system. Then Jake
finds an empty cradle at the murder scene. Where is the baby who should
have been sleeping there?

Jane and Jake are soon on a trail full of twists and turns that takes
them deep into the heart of a foster care system in crisis and threatens
to blow the lid off an adoption agency scandal. When the threatening
phone calls start, Jane knows she is on the right track…but with both a
killer at large and an infant missing, time is running out….

The Wrong Girl is a riveting novel of familial
relationships—both known and unknown—vile greed, senseless murder, and
the ultimate in deception. What if you didn’t know the truth about your
own family? 

There will be a book signing following the program with books for sale provided by Lake Forest Book Store.
