Elegiac, informative and disquieting. . . . The novel gallops to a suitably heart-racing finish.” — New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA haunting, richly atmospheric, and deeply suspenseful novel from the acclaimed author of The Enchanted about an investigator who must use her unique insights to find a missing little girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree years ago, Madison Culver disappeared when her family was choosing a Christmas tree in Oregon’s Skookum National Forest.

Desperate to find their beloved daughter, certain someone took her, the Culvers turn to Naomi, a private investigator with an uncanny talent for locating the lost and missing. Known to the police and a select group of parents as \"the Child Finder,\" Naomi is their last hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaomi’s methodical search takes her deep into the icy, mysterious forest in the Pacific Northwest, and into her own fragmented past. She understands children like Madison because once upon a time, she was a lost girl, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Naomi relentlessly pursues and slowly uncovers the truth behind Madison’s disappearance, shards of a dark dream pierce the defenses that have protected her, reminding her of a terrible loss she feels but cannot remember. If she finds Madison, will Naomi ultimately unlock the secrets of her own life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold in the alternating voices of Naomi and a deeply imaginative child, The Child Finder is a breathtaking, exquisitely rendered literary page-turner about redemption, the line between reality and memories and dreams, and the human capacity to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Next Chapter Books \u0026 Bookmobile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47942117982345,"sku":"9780062659057","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/9780062659057.jpg?v=1786568285","url":"https:\/\/www.nextchapterbookmobile.com\/products\/the-child-finder-a-novel-by-rene-denfeld","provider":"Next Chapter Books \u0026 Bookmobile","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
