The 9th Girl by Tami Hoag opened on New Year’s Eve when a dark sedan hit a Minneapolis pothole. The trunk opened. A mutilated woman flew out. A party limo ran her over. Sergeant Nikki Liska and Detective Sam Kovac connected the case with a serial killer known to abduct young women on holidays and torture them. They named him Doc Holiday, and this latest victim, Zombie Doe. In addition to the Doc Holiday story, Penelope Gray, a goth, sensitive, poet, was in conflict with popular, mean girl Christina Warner—complicated by the engagement of Julia Gray to Michael Warner. A thrilling combination of teenage angst and brutal murders.
Sergeant Liska's 15-year-old son attended a writers’ workshop in the summer with Penelope Gray and Brittany Lawler. They became friends and got “acceptance” tattoos. When they returned to school, Brittany abandoned her summer friends to join Christina Warner’s mean-girls clique, abandoning RJ and Penny. RJ fought with Aaron Fogelman (Christina’s boyfriend and a bully).
Eventually, Kovas and Liska learn that Penny is missing. They pursue the Doc Holiday case and the missing Penny case, all the while hoping that they are not connected even though the evidence suggests that they are.
