Nobody's Girl er Virginia Roberts Giuffres personlige og medrivende fortælling om sit liv og ikke mindst om de mange år med overgreb, der begyndte da hun var 7 og fortsatte gennem teenageårene, hvor hun blev misbrugt af Jeffrey Epstein og Ghislaine Maxwell og kredsen omkring dem, indtil hun som 19-årig slap ud af deres greb. Bogen er hendes åbenhjertige fortælling om, hvad der skete. En fortælling om at være en helt almindelig pige, hvis almindelige liv blev taget fra hende. Men også om at finde viljestyrken til at slippe ud og evnen til at vende sine egne traumer til en kamp for ofrene.

But his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is not in fact a suicide, but a murder related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988. At Marcus' behest, Carl and the Department Q gang—Rose, Assad, and Gordon—reluctantly begin to investigate.
