He's a good detective... with a bad habit.

Frank Marr may be a decorated former cop and an excellent private investigator, but Washington DC doesn't know his dirty secret.

Frank has managed to keep his drug habit hidden. But after accidentally rescuing a kidnapped teenage girl, he's thrust into the spotlight.

Reluctantly, he agrees to investigate another - possibly connected - disappearance, all the time knowing that the heightened scrutiny may expose him...

The Second Girl is a raw, real and incredible thriller from a former DC Major Crimes detective.
