“Wake” by Shelley Burr (William Morrow) Wake by Shelley Burr (William Morrow) Mina McCreery’s 9-year-old twin sister, Evelyn, was kidnapped in what was Australia’s most famous missing child case, in Shelley Burr’s debut novel “Wake.” The result was a media circus that made Mina lonely and leery of outsiders. So when Lane Holland, a PI specializing in finding missing persons, shows up in the outback Australian town where McCreeery lives, she’s cautious. Instead of working with him, she tricks him into hunting for her best friend’s missing sister. The women are friends through a support group. When Holland finds the sister, McCreery decides to trust him. He claims he’s hoping to collect the reward money, which he’ll use for his sister’s education. But there’s something else at work here.
