Blurb from Goodreads:
After her father
vanishes while investigating the disappearance of 13 young women, a teen
returns to her secretive hometown to pick up the trail in this second
YA historical mystery from the author of The Silence of Bones.
Hwani's
family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went
missing and were later found unconscious in the forest, near a gruesome
crime scene. The only thing they remember: Their captor wore a
painted-white mask.
To escape the haunting memories of this
incident, the family flees their hometown. Years later, Detective
Min—Hwani's father—learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared
under similar circumstances, and so he returns to their hometown to
investigate... only to vanish as well.
Determined to find her
father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns
home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small
village—and reconnects with her now estranged sister—Hwani comes to
realize that the answer lies within her own buried memories of what
happened in the forest all those years ago.
