#1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner returns with an unpredictable thriller that puts fan favorites D. D. Warren and Flora Dane on a shocking new case that begins with a vicious murder and gets darker from there. A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun. D. D. Warren arrives on the scene and recognizes the woman—Evie Carter—from a case many years back. Evie's father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident. But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many. Flora Dane sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim—a hostage—and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn the truth of Conrad's murder. But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing. As layer by layer they peel away the half-truths and outright lies, they wonder: How many secrets can one family have?

Kolik toho člověk snese? Své o tom ví Flora, kterou kdysi unesli. Ona však přežila a dnes se snaží pomáhat jiným ztraceným dívkám. Když ovšem detektiva D. D. Warrenovou zavolají k případu, ukáže se, že Flora je nějak spojená hned se třemi podezřelými vyšetřovanými v souvislosti s objevem nahé dívky a muže, kterého zabila. Je Flora oběť, nebo spolupachatel? A proč zase zmizela?

A young mother disappears, leaving her four-year-old daughter as the only witness. Detective Sergeant D.D. Warren senses that the picture Jason and Sandra Jones project is somewhat off and Jason Jones is more intent on destroying evidence than finding his wife. Is the perfect husband hiding his guilt or just trying to hide?

Un fait divers dans une banlieue résidentielle de Boston passionne les médias. Sandra Jones, jeune maîtresse d'école et mère modèle, a disparu. Seul témoin : sa petite fille de quatre ans. Suspect n° 1 : son mari Jason. Dès que l'inspectrice D.D. Warren pénètre chez les Jones, elle sent que quelque chose cloche : les réticences de Jason à répondre à ses questions, son peu d'empressement à savoir ce qui a bien pu arriver à son épouse «chérie»... Tente-t-il de brouiller les pistes ou cherche-t-il à protéger sa fille, à se cacher ? Mais de qui ? Après avoir lu ce suspense, vous ne regarderez jamais plus une porte déverrouillée, une fenêtre entrouverte ou une page Web de la même façon...
