Lisa Gardner's runaway New York Times bestseller—a fast-paced thrill ride featuring Detective D. D. Warren. Seven years ago, carefree college student Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break. For 472 days, Flora learned just how much one person can endure. Miraculously alive after her ordeal, Flora has spent the past five years reacquainting herself with the rhythms of normal life, working with her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes. She has a mother who’s never stopped loving her, a brother who is scared of the person she’s become, and a bedroom wall covered with photos of other girls who’ve never made it home. When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime—a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him—she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? And with her firsthand knowledge of criminal behavior, could she hold the key to rescuing a missing college student whose abduction has rocked Boston? When Flora herself disappears, D.D. realizes a far more sinister predator is out there. One who’s determined that this time, Flora Dane will never escape. And now it is all up to D. D. Warren to find her.

Missing Mother-to-be
Another kidnapped-woman-fights-back plot, but this one pairs the captivity with a captor romance, a secret pregnancy and a guaranteed happy ending.
Touch & go
Same author's clean-language kidnapping procedural with a tough female investigator; this one centers a whole abducted family rather than a survivor's revenge.
Gone
Another Gardner disappearance case driven by dread and investigator guilt, but more about a spouse's search than captivity trauma and vigilantism.
Night Music
Shares the slow rebuilding of a life after devastation, though it trades crime-scene brutality for quiet grief and gentle small-village romance.
Where's Molly
A captivity survivor who takes justice into her own hands, like Flora, but told as a vigilante revenge romance with far more explicit heat.
Her Private Avenger
Keeps the FBI profiler, revenge and kidnapping threads, but adds explicit romance and a guaranteed happy ending instead of bleak survivor grit.
