The Ninth Girl
(2026)(The fourth book in the Special Agent Emily Ray series)
A novel by Michele Dominguez Greene
A young waitress vanishes from a Hollywood nightclub after her shift. When her sister’s desperate plea goes viral on TikTok, it reaches the one FBI agent who knows exactly what it’s like to be the missing girl.
Twenty-one-year-old Gigi Bensette never makes it to her car, and the LAPD writes her off as a runaway. But Special Agent Emily Ray—taken herself as a child, now the FBI’s most relentless hunter of the missing—can’t look away. She uncovers something far darker than a missing-persons case: a black-market ring preying on young women and forcing them to bear babies to order.
The man at the centre is protected, untouchable, always one step ahead. And this case could not come at a worse time. Emily’s marriage is ending and her family is breaking apart—but to save these women she must keep her focus if she’s going to bring the captive women home before they vanish for good.
An unputdownable, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that will keep you turning pages long past midnight. The fourth instalment in the addictive Special Agent Emily Ray series. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Melinda Leigh.
