It’s a hot, early autumn evening in the small resort town of Mount Charleston, NV, where six firefighters are battling a massive blaze that threatens expensive homes . . . a blaze that will cost them their lives. Initially, the police determine that the fire was human-started, and the state wants to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law with six counts of homicide. Now the team of Sin City’s finest criminologists, led by Catherine Willows, are assigned to work a crime scene far from the glittering lights and 24/7 spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip, and soon find much more than they bargained for. . . . Meanwhile, Ray Langston and Nick Stokes are called to a crime scene where a dog has taken a key piece of evidence—a severed human hand—under a suburban home’s crawl space. What’s even more disturbing is that it’s not the first severed hand that’s turned up lately—there have been four other incidents around Las Vegas over the past twelve months. . . .

Jeff Mariotte's atmospheric supernatural thriller has stayed with me longer than I could have imagined. Perhaps it is because he captures a world I know intimately, the high desert along the border between the United States and Mexico. Missing White Girl captures the mood and tenor of a place that has been at the forefront of the national news, and explores the harder truths that that can't be described in a sound bite. A family of mixed race is viciously murdered in their home. Their daughter Lulu is kidnapped. But Lieutenant Buck Shelton is hard pressed to find criminalists able to process the scene of this horrific mass murder and kidnapping, because all the county's resources have gone into searching for a missing white girl. The national news focuses solely on the pretty blonde from a wealthy, prominent family, her disappearance an excuse for another media circus. Meanwhile, Lulu, half black and half Hispanic, must fight for her life. There are many dynamics to the story, all of them informed by the deepening fissure on our border: a good man loses his job and is talked into joining a group of border vigilantes; a college professor's past life is revealed and nearly destroys him; Lulu is a hostage to people who want something from her that she cannot give. And there is the other white girl, a mysterious icon from another century, slowly making her way to the border crossing. Some desperately want her to get there, and others must stop her at any cost. All of these subplots are woven together seamlessly in a book that has a deep meaning for me personally. Missing White Girl is one of the best books I've read this year.
