An island of secrets. A runaway. And a promise...

From the LA Times Book Prize-winning author comes a suspenseful and mind-bending novel about Eldon Chance, a forensic neuropsychiatrist at the end of his rope - now a Hulu TV series starring Hugh Laurie and Gretchen Moi. Chance is a dark story about psychiatric mystery, sexual obsession, fractured identities, and terrifyingly realistic violence; a tale told amid the back streets of California's Bay Area, far from the cleansing breezes of the ocean. Dr. Eldon Chance, a neuropsychiatrist, is a man primed for spectacular ruin. Into his blighted life walks Jaclyn Blackstone, the abused, attractive wife of an Oakland homicide detective seemingly suffering from a dissociative identity disorder. In time, Chance will fall into bed with her; or is it her alter ego, the voracious and volatile Jackie Black? The not-so-good doctor, despite his training, isn't quite sure and soon finds himself up against her husband, Raymond, a formidable and dangerous adversary. Meanwhile, Chance also meets a young man named D, a self-styled, streetwise philosopher skilled in the art of the blade. Around this trio of unique and dangerous individuals, long-guarded secrets begin to unravel, obsessions grow, and the doctor's carefully arranged life comes to the brink of implosion. Chance is a twisted, harrowing, and impossible-to-put-down head trip through the funhouse of fate; it's not pretty, it's not sweet, but it is disturbing and unforgettable.

Bestsellerové autorky Colleen Hooverová a Tarryn Fisherová spojily síly a společně napsaly naprosto jedinečnou romanci s mystery zápletkou. Charlie Wynwoodová a Silas Nash byli od narození nejlepšími přáteli, dokud se do sebe ve čtrnácti letech nezamilovali a nestali se něčím mnohem víc. Počínaje dnešním ránem jsou si ale naprosto cizí. Všechny jejich vzpomínky na to, kým byli a jaký pár společně tvořili, jsou fuč. Vytratily se. Nezbývá než odhalit pravdu o tom, co se jim stalo a proč k tomu došlo. Ale čím víc o sobě zjišťují, tím těžší je pro ně pochopit, proč byli vůbec kdy spolu. Vzpomenout si někdy může být horší než zapomenout. Doporučený věk 15+
