I was Kidnapped By Gangsters, But My Mother Didn’t Save Me

On her birthday, Yasmin is attacked and left for dead while her mother, Captain Jennifer Cooper, attends the coming-of-age ceremony of her niece, Kelly Butler. Dying, Yasmin sends her mother a desperate voice message, but Jennifer dismisses it as a bid for attention. That same night, Jennifer is called to examine a woman's mutilated body, and for three days she works the case without realizing the victim is her own daughter.

When the disfigured corpse is finally found in a market trash pile, Jennifer leads the task force, cursing the killer's cruelty while Yasmin's spirit watches over her own body. As the investigation stalls, Jennifer's thoughts turn to Kelly, the niece she treats as her own, and to the daughter she openly resents. Yasmin, unseen, can only wonder what her mother will feel when the truth of the Jane Doe case is finally known.
