"When popular radio personality West McCray receives a desperate phone call from a stranger imploring him to find nineteen-year-old runaway Sadie Hunter, he’s not convinced there’s a story there; girls go missing all the time. But when it’s revealed that Sadie fled home after the brutal murder of her little sister, Mattie, West travels to the small town of Cold Creek, Colorado, to uncover what happened.
Sadie has no idea that her journey to avenge her sister will soon become the subject of a blockbuster podcast. Armed with a switchblade, Sadie follows meager clues hoping they’ll lead to the man who took Mattie’s life, because she’s determined to make him pay with his own. But as West traces her path to the darkest, most dangerous corners of big cities and small towns, a deeply unsettling mystery begins to unfold―one that’s bigger than them both. Can he find Sadie before it’s too late?
Alternating between Sadie’s unflinching voice as she hunts the killer and the podcast transcripts tracking the clues she’s left behind, Sadie is a breathless thriller about the lengths we go to protect the ones we love and the high price we pay when we can’t. It will haunt you long after you reach the final page."-- Provided by Amazon

Gritty, boundary-pushing young adult fiction often explores trauma, revenge, and the complex interior lives of young women, a realm brought to prominent light by the breakout thriller Sadie. Author Courtney Summers has earned widespread critical acclaim for crafting unflinching mystery and suspense novels that refuse to shy away from difficult realities.
Born in 1986 in Belleville, Ontario, Courtney Summers grew up in Canada, where she currently lives and writes. She published her debut novel, Cracked Up to Be, in 2008 at the age of 22. Over the course of her writing career, she has reviewed books for The New York Times and expanded her impact into digital culture by founding #ToTheGirls, a 2015 worldwide trending hashtag. Her industry recognition continued to grow when, in 2016, she was named one of Flare Magazine's 60 under 30.
Summers is widely recognized for her unflinching narrative voice, dark thematic territory, and willingness to center complex, uncomfortable, or traditionally unlikeable female protagonists. Her stories frequently tackle tough subjects such as grief, trauma, violence, and institutional neglect. Incorporating innovative storytelling structures—such as true-crime podcast transcripts alongside dual character perspectives—her writing combines suspenseful mystery pacing with sharp social commentary on how society treats young women.
