THE 9TH GIRL
HOAG, TAMI
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
The ninth unidentified body to turn up in Minneapolis in 2012 is nicknamed Jane Doe 9. Sam Kovac and Nikki
Liska take on the case and discover a shocking fact: This victim has been found without any identifiable
characteristics, except for those that peg her as an adolescent girl. Before the investigation is through, the case
will take the two detectives deep into the life and death of a teenage girl who wanted nothing more than to be
“normal.” They will come perilously close to the bullies who tormented her, the twisted family dynamics that may
have contributed to her death, and ultimately to the haunting details of a young love that just may hide the secret
of Jane Doe 9’s terrible fate.

ADLER-OLSEN, JUSSI
In The Keeper of Lost Causes, Jussi Adler-Olsen introduced Detective Carl Mørck, a deeply flawed, brilliant
detective newly assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen’s coldest cases. Mørck is satisfied with
the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So he’s naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A
brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects—part of a group of
privileged boarding-school students—confessed and was convicted. But once Mørck reopens the files, it
becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a
woman living on the streets, stealing to survive. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they aren’t
the only ones looking for her. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep
buried . . . as well as one of her own that could turn everything on its head.
