Rent The 9th Girl

Synopsis

Minnesota native Tami Hoag’s new thriller, The 9th Girl, takes this versatile writer out of her California-set Oak Knoll series for the first time since her Dutton debut — and brings back her fan-favorite Minneapolis investigators Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska. Kovac and Liska anchored the two bestselling novels of Hoag’s career, Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust; the two haven’t been seen since 2006’s Prior Bad Acts. The 9th Girl focuses on the ninth unidentified body to turn up in Minneapolis in 2012, nicknamed Jane Doe 9. When Kovac and Liska take on the case, they discover a shocking fact: This victim has been found without any identifiable characteristics, except for those that peg her as an adolescent girl. Before the investigation is through, the case will take the two detectives deep into the life and death of a teenage girl who wanted nothing more than to be “normal.” They will come perilously close to the bullies who tormented her, the twisted family dynamics that may have contributed to her death, and ultimately to the haunting details of a young love that just may hide the secret of Jane Doe 9’s terrible fate. Hoag’s most recent books have been among the biggest bestsellers of her career; with the return of Kovac and Liska, The 9th Girl is destined to be a megahit.
