Roll Call

by Jane Wyatt, Linda Laplant (Editor), Doug Orcutt (Editor)

I just look at her in sadness, knowing full well that whatever is going on is bound to get worse. The whole history shows more questions than answers…Frankie was the go-to girl for the history of the community; now that she’s gone, I have to find someone else. Mysteries abound in Jane Wyatt’s chilling new novel, Roll Call . When teenagers start mysteriously disappearing from the quiet suburban community of Applegate, former Chicago Tribune reporter Jay Parks moves his entire family—including his twin teenage children—to the Portland, Oregon, town to investigate. But things get complicated when his own daughter, DJ, becomes the head of her high school journalism class—and launches an investigation of her own. After hitting roadblock after roadblock, like a police force that would rather ignore the town’s gossip than try to follow up on any possible leads, the Parks seem to be making little headway. But after a giant birthday party thrown in DJ’s honor, the whole investigation changes overnight—and the results are horrifying. Loosely based on events in 1973 in Portland, Oregon, this nail-biting suspense novel will keep readers riveted until the very last page.
