A missing girl. A frantic mother. A desperate search.

Across the country, notes taped to restroom stalls read, “On a date that isn’t going well? Ask for Andrea at the bar. We’ll make sure you get home safe.”

But Andrea—the girl behind the campaign—didn't make it home safe.

She disappeared without a trace at seventeen. The police labeled her a runaway, and the case went cold. That is, until her mother, Sabina, starts digging for answers.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that not everyone wants Andrea to be found. A predator is hiding in plain sight, keeping close tabs on the search. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure his secrets stay buried.

Forget You Saw Her is the chilling standalone prequel to the international bestseller Ask for Andrea.

Until now.

Presented with evidence that could prove his innocence, Justine must find out the truth before anyone else does.
