Nineteen years ago, Ruth-Ann Baker’s childhood friend was murdered by convicted killer Ethan Oswald. Haunted by the incident, Ruth believes Oswald had other victims, but no one has ever believed her. After dropping out of college and struggling to prove her theory, she works as a bartender when she hears about another young girl missing from her hometown. With Oswald now deceased, she suspects he had an accomplice still active today.
Crossing the globe from New York to New Zealand, Ruth confronts her past and connects with three different women. As she investigates further, she becomes convinced that one of them knows the truth—about her childhood friend, the missing girl, and potentially about herself.
Join acclaimed author Jacqueline Bublitz as she shares her latest murder mystery, Leave the Girls Behind. Books will be available for purchase on the day from Dymocks Brisbane, or you can bring a copy from home to be signed. This event is part of the Lord Mayor's Writers in Residence series.
