    Summary: 
    "When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads him to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, he began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a University of Massachusetts nursing student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. He uncovers shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. An absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction. A fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers. James Renner is the author of The Serial Killer's Apprentice and several other works of nonfiction. His method of using social media to solve cold cases was the subject of a CNN profile in 2015. He has also written two novels, The Man from Primrose Lane and The Great Forgetting."--Provided by publisher.
