      „Temný psychothriller, napínavý a neodhadnutelný do poslední věty.“ – Reese Witherspoon Fairview je malé městečko v Connecticutu, klidné a spořádané, jak má být. A pak v něm jedné noci dojde k brutálnímu znásilnění patnáctileté dívky. Oběť napadení, Jenny Kramerová, si však na nic nepamatuje: stačilo jí se souhlasem rodičů krátce poté podat jistou kontroverzní látku a hrůzná vzpomínka se ztratila. Ale pocity a bolest tak úplně nezmizely… Děsivá událost postupně rozleptá Jennyinu osobnost, a nejen její. Jennyin otec Tom je posedlý myšlenkou najít viníka, matka Charlotta se marně snaží obnovit bezúhonnou pověst rodiny. Kramerovi proto vyhledají pomoc místního psychiatra Alana Forrestera. Ten vidí jedinou možnost – navrátit Jenny paměť. Krutá minulost bude muset znovu zaútočit… na všechny.

    • In Wendy Walker's thrilling novel Don't Look for Me, the greatest risk isn't running away. It's running out of time. The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family that couldn't be put back together. They called it a "walk away." It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over. But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke? Don't Look For Me is: "GRIPPING...WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS... You've got a cracking mystery on your hands." --Adrian McKinty, author of The Chain "A NAILBITER . . . SO MUCH MORE THAN A TWISTY THRILLER. It's a heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!" --Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek

    • "An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB It begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect. Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world. As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.
