For fans of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Catherine Fogarty investigates a decades-old cold case and uncovers the true story of a Montreal teen murdered in Los Angeles in 1969

In 1969, the body of a young female murder victim was found discarded down a rocky outcropping off Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. Now, fifty-seven years later, true crime writer Catherine Fogarty isdetermined to tell the young woman’s story, drawing much-needed attention to her long-forgotten case—and potentially unmasking her killer.

The Girl with No Name follows Fogarty’s investigation as she seeks to uncover the truth behind the murder of nineteen-year-old Montreal native Reet Jurvetson. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous decade, and one of the most infamous crime sprees in American history, the author re-examinesthe young woman’s brutal death and questions the heartbreaking reality of why she remained unidentified for almost half a century.

Inspired by the passion and commitment of other true crime writers, such as Michelle McNamara (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark) and John Allore (Wish You Were Here), and motivated by her own fractured past, Fogarty refuses to let Reet Jurvetson be forgotten.

Collaboratingwith cold case investigators in Los Angeles and Montreal, new clues and potential suspects emerge in the case. Despite fading memories, closed doors, dead ends and the police’s blue wall of silence, Fogarty’s amateur sleuthing begins to uncover answers to the decades-old murder.

As the investigation unfolds, startling revelations come to light from the most unlikely of sources, unravelling long-buried lies and exposing secrets (and truths) that were expected tostay hidden forever.
