HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONE YOU LOVE? Cleo arrives for dinner at her childhood home, only to find food burning in the oven, no sign of her mother, and a bloody shoe under the sofa. The polar opposite of Cleo, whose 'out of control' emotions and 'unsafe' behaviour have created a seemingly unbridgeable rift between mother and daughter, Kat is the epitome of glamorous perfection: a happily married, successful corporate lawyer. What Cleo doesn't know, is that Kat's not just a lawyer: she's her firm's fixer. She's damn good at it too. Growing up in a dangerous group home taught her how to think fast, stay calm under pressure and recognise a real threat when she sees one. And in the days leading up to her disappearance, Kat has become aware of all too many of those. As Cleo digs deeper into her mother's disappearance, it becomes clear that the two have far more in common than they ever could have imagined.

Fünf beste Freunde, ein tödliches Geheimnis und ein Wochenende der Wahrheit: Kimberly McCreights Thriller ist ebenso hinterhältig wie spannend und unvorhersehbar. Nichts schien Jonathan, Derrick, Keith, Stephanie, Maeve und Alice trennen zu können – bis Alice sich aus Schuldgefühlen das Leben nahm, so steht es im Polizei-Bericht. Zehn Jahre später treffen sich die Freunde in Jonathans Wochenendhaus in den Catskill Mountains, um seinen Junggesellenabschied zu feiern. Doch plötzlich verschwinden Keith und Derrick. Die Polizei findet nur ihren Wagen mit einer Leiche, deren Gesicht zertrümmert ist. Hat die Vergangenheit noch eine Rechnung offen? Für Detective Julia Scutt, die den Fall übernimmt, wird die Ermittlung zu einer unheimlichen Reise in die Vergangenheit: Als Julia acht Jahre alt war, wurde die Leiche ihrer Schwester mit ähnlichen Verletzungen gefunden, während von der Freundin, die sie begleitete, jede Spur fehlt. Mit hohem Tempo und raffinierten Wendungen führt die Bestseller-Autorin durch einen Thriller, den man kaum aus der Hand legen kann. McCreight präsentiert ein brillant konstruiertes Puzzle, das den Leser zwingt, die Teile zu einem schockierenden Porträt aus Bedauern, Trauer und dunkler Loyalität zusammenzusetzen.

Everyone has those friends. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, or how badly they’ve occasionally behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes—you show up. No questions asked.Honestly, that’s how the five of us ended up here in the Catskills. We did have the best of intentions. Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can’t bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we’ll do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen. We’ll go so much farther than we ever thought we would. In the end, maybe that’s what caught up with us. That, and the fact that we’re such a complicated group—so much history and so many big personalities. Secrets, too, that can slip out at the most inopportune moments. Of course, we love each other despite all of those things. We love each other no matter what.There’s something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though. Or maybe that’s just us. After all, we’ve already been through so much together. And we have so very much to hide.
