Phillips, Julia  
  
  
    One August afternoon
 on the shoreline of the Kamchatka Peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia
 two girls - sisters
 eight and eleven - go missing. In the ensuing weeks
 then months
 the police investigation turns up nothing. Echoes of the disappearance reverberate across a tightly woven community
 connecting the lives of neighbors
 witnesses
 family members
 and a detective throughout an ensuing year of tension.
