STOLEN THINGS
Laurie Ahmadi has worked as a 911 police dispatcher in her quiet Northern California town for seventeen years. She considers the department her family. Her husband, Omid, is its first Arab-American chief, and their teenaged daughter Jojo has grown up surrounded by cops. When Laurie catches a 911 call and, to her horror, it's Jojo, the whole department springs into action. "Mama? Help me."
Jojo, drugged, disoriented, and in pain, doesn't remember how she ended up at the home of Kevin Leeds, a pro-football player famous for his on-the-field activism. Then the police find a body at the house, too--Kevin's trainer, who's been beaten to death.
And they learn that Jojo's best friend, Harper, who was with her earlier in the evening, never made it home. When Jojo's rape kit comes back positive, the case seems straightforward--Kevin Leeds hates cops and did all of this himself. But Jojo insists that Kevin wouldn't hurt her, or anyone. When Jojo finds a hidden file of photos of Harper in compromising positions with older men, all of them cops, both Laurie and Jojo begin to realize that everything they thought they could rely on is in question. They can't trust anyone to find Harper--except themselves.
Stolen Things is the first suspense novel by R.H. Herron, the pseudonym of an author who lives and teaches writing in California. For seventeen years she worked as a 911 fire/medical dispatcher, and this book is inspired by actual events. She lives with her wife, three dogs, and two cats in Oakland.
