      Jak moc vlastně známe ty, které milujeme? Třicátnice Emma Hawkeová se vzpamatovává z nevyřešené vraždy svého prvního manžela Derricka, poté co si vybudovala nový život po boku Toma, hezkého, úspěšného a milujícího vdovce, se kterým se konečně zase cítí v bezpečí. Jednoho krásného dne se ovšem do jejich domu na connecticutském pobřeží dostaví policie a klade otázky ohledně Derrickovy smrti. Emma si už byla jistá, že ve dnech po tragédii byla zbavena podezření. Proč se tedy policie znovu pouští do vyšetřování – a zajímá ji, kdy vznikl její vztah s Tomem? Vždyť se s ním seznámila až po Derrickově smrti. Emmu šokuje zjištění, že se ve skutečnosti ona a její druhý manžel zúčastnili dva měsíce před Derrickovou vraždou stejné pracovní večeře. Všiml si jí tam snad Tom, aniž o tom věděla? Nemohl se na ni zaměřit a zosnovat plán, aby se stala jeho manželkou za každou cenu? Tento román, plný zvratů a nečekaných obratů až do poslední stránky, nás přivádí ke známé prastaré otázce: Jak moc vlastně známe ty, které milujeme?

On a cold, rainy morning, finance journalist Ally Linden arrives soaked to the bone at her Manhattan office, only to find that she's forgotten her keycard. When her boss shows, he's shocked to see her--because, he explains, she hasn't worked there in five years. Ally knows her name, but is having trouble coming up with much beyond that, though after a trip to the psychiatric ER, she begins to piece together important facts: she lives on the Upper West Side; she's now a freelance journalist; she's married to a terrific man named Hugh. More memories materialize and yet she still can't recall anything about the previous two days. Diagnosed as having experienced a dissociative state, she starts to wonder if it may have been triggered by something she saw. Could she have witnessed an accident--or worse--had something happened to her? Desperate for answers, Ally tries to track where she spent the missing days, but every detail she unearths points to an explanation that's increasingly ominous, and it's clear someone wants to prevent her from learning where those forty-eight hours went. In order to uncover the truth, Ally must dig deep into the secrets of her past--and outsmart the person who seems determined to silence her."--Amazon
