The Mystery of Hollow Places

The Mystery of Hollow Places is a gorgeously written, stunningly original novel of love, loss, and identity, from debut author Rebecca Podos.

All Imogene Scott knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. Itamp;#8217;s the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist; she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A woman who left Imogene and her father when she was a baby, a woman who was always possessed of a powerful loneliness, a woman who many referred to as amp;#8220;troubled waters.amp;#8221;

Now Imogene is seventeen, and her father, a famous author of medical mysteries, has struck out in the middle of the night and hasnamp;#8217;t come back. Neither Imogeneamp;#8217;s stepmother nor the police know where he couldamp;#8217;ve gone, but Imogene is convinced heamp;#8217;s looking for her mother. And she decides itamp;#8217;s up to her to put to use the skills sheamp;#8217;s gleaned from a lifetime of reading her fatheramp;#8217;s books to track down a woman sheamp;#8217;s only known in stories in order to find him and, perhaps, the answer to the question sheamp;#8217;s carried with her for her entire life.
