[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]
All Imogene Scott knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. It's the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist; she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A troubled woman who left Imogene and her father when she was a baby. Now Imogene is seventeen, and her father, a famous author of medical mysteries, has struck out in the middle of the night and hasn't come back. Imogene is convinced he's looking for her mother. She decides it's up to her to put to use the skills she's gleaned from reading her father's books to track down a woman she's only known in stories and, perhaps, the answer to the question she's carried with her for all her life.
