Girls
Nine cases the world wants to forget.
One detective who never will.
“I’m Detective Meri Amber.” I’ve been searching for my sister for twenty years. Every missing girl is a mirror.
Nine daughters.
One truth.
As the FBI’s leading child abduction specialist, Meri Amber has spent her career chasing the vanished — from Minnesota to Montana, from abandoned barns to dark cellars that still echo with screams. But every case cuts deeper than the last.
From the horrifying secrets of the House of Dolls, to a macabre twelfth birthday party, to the sinister truths buried in the Widow’s Barn — delve into nine intriguing mysteries that will chill you to the bone.
Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and John Marrs will be totally obsessed with this gripping collection from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes.
Nine Missing Girls is an earlier chapter in Meri Amber’s world — the same detective readers first met in The Sister Under the Stairs and followed again in The Girls in the Basement. Each book stands completely on its own, but if you’ve met Meri before, these nine cases will hit a little differently.
There’s one more file in Meri’s drawer.

I absolutely loved these nine incredible short stories about missing girls! They were dark, gripping and I absolutely loved how everything was connected. I honestly couldn’t recommend this collection enough to thriller lovers!

After The Sister Under the Stairs and The Girls in the Basement, the messages started coming. Readers wanted more of Meri — what shaped her, what broke her, what kept her going. I realized a single novel couldn’t hold all of that. Meri is too layered, too complicated, too human to be contained in one story.
So I gave her nine. Nine case files, one weekend at a time, each one a piece of the woman she became. I hope her world pulls you in as deeply as she pulled at me while I was writing it.
Happy reading,
— Steena
More from Meri’s world is coming soon…
