Publisher's summary

"This book will blow you away!" - Edna Buchanan, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter & bestselling mystery author.
As featured on ABC's 20/20,Dateline NBC, Unsolved Mysteries, Time Magazine, People Magazine, The New York Times and many others: the riveting inside story of a mother's fearless search for her missing daughter, Without a Trace -- A Mother's Search for Justice went through four sold out printings and spent 12 weeks as the #2 True-Crime book on Amazon!

On March 5, 1974 -- the same day that rival motorcycle clubs roared through suburban Miami in celebration of their annual "Bike Week" -- seventeen-year-old Amy Billig left home to meet a friend for lunch ... and vanished. Several days later, Amy's frantic mother, Susan Billig, received an anonymous phone call saying that her daughter had been carried off by one of the biker gangs. And so began Susan's harrowing and extraordinary twenty-five-year search for her lost child -- an odyssey that led a desperate parent into the seedy heart of a dangerous subculture built on drugs, rebellion, brutality, and sex; a relentless hunt for the truth that showed her the best side of humanity...and the very worst.

"A great story of a mother searching for justice, answers and closure." -- Aphrodite Jones, author of The Embrace .

"Captures Susan Billig's compelling voice and heroic search for truth in one of Miami's most agonizing mysteries." -- Arthur Jay Harris, author of Speed Kills

Loved the story itself. I'm True Crime junkie

I didn't care for the AI delivery. It wasn't terrible but there were definitely times when you could tell it wasn't read by a human due to mispronunciations of words (Mal vs mall). I also enjoy hearing differing tones of voice, emotion, characters, etc.

Very Detailed Account

This is a great book that covered a case I don’t even remember hearing about. I am the same age Amy would have been now, but as a mother and grandmother my heart goes out to Amy’s mom and all she experienced and endured during her lifelong search for her daughter. The book details many harrowing encounters with the outlaw biker world and made me ask myself if I would be brave enough to do all she did. It’s heartbreaking that she never got the answers she so desperately searched for. I really enjoyed the automated narration too, I can’t stand when audio book narrators try to change their voices for each character, as if they’re acting in a movie or something. Just read the book. I highly recommend this book if true crime is your genre.

Unsatisfactory ending

The ordeal the mother endured is the heart of the story. Her struggles are well described. No real evidence relating to her missing daughter.

It went on and on

Not much resolution for a really long story. I love true stories, and I felt for the mother, but it just went on and on and didn’t have an ending where you felt the usual peace.

moving and very interesting

wow.. I wasn't really expecting that story. it's captivating. very emotional. I definitely enjoyed it.

please stop using the ai voice

it takes away from the story, and makes me sleepy with the monotone voice, i feel less involved with the story because of the lack of emotion by the ai narrator
