Carol Wyer Knihy

Život mladé maminky Abigail vypadá zvenčí naprosto dokonale: má pohledného úspěšného manžela, který ji miluje, rozkošnou malou dcerku a honosný dům na předměstí. Jenomže Abigailina minulost je plná temných tajemství, která zřejmě někdo odhalil. Někdo, kdo začíná postupně ničit všechno kolem ní... a kdo nakonec unese i miminko Izzy. Vyšetřováním případu je pověřena inspektorka Robyn Carterová. I její minulost je plná tajemství, těžkých ztrát a pocitů viny. Robyn se vrací k policii po roční pauze, kdy se snažila vyrovnat se smrtí snoubence, a její první případ zprvu vypadá jen jako nevinné pátrání po pohřešovaném učiteli hudby. Jenže lidé z okolí ztraceného Lucase začínají záhadně umírat, a když Robyn vytuší, že mezi jejím případem a únosem malé holčičky existuje spojitost, pochopí, že pátrá po několikanásobném vrahovi. A jestli má zachránit Izzy, nemá moc času…

Inspektorka Kate Youngová bere léky a vyrovnává se s traumatem. Je sice nejlepším detektivem u policie, ale poté, co její špatný úsudek málem zapříčiní veřejnou katastrofu, její šéfové usoudí, že jediné, co potřebuje, je dovolená. Když ji však vedení povolá zpět kvůli novému případu, Kate se vrací tvrdší a ostražitější. Nemilosrdně se pouští do pátrání po sériovém vrahovi, který své oběti mučí a zanechává stopy, jejichž prostřednictvím se vysmívá policii. Povzbuzována svým mužem reportérem začíná Kate tušit, že vrah je možná blíž, než si vůbec dokázala představit. A při odhalování pravdy rozplétá síť tajemství a lží, přičemž co skrývat mají i její nejbližší.
