"[An] account of the decades-long attempt to solve the murder of Adam Walsh . . . as relentlessly suspenseful as anything I’ve ever read." -Dennis Lehane, author of Small Mercies Before Adam Walsh there were no faces on milk cartons, no Amber Alerts, no federal databases of crimes against children.

A taut, compelling and often touching book about a long march to justice." -Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent"Compelling." -Miami Herald"[A] page-turner . . . tough to forget." -People"The definitive account." -The Washington Post
