Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Wife.

A detective hiding away from the world. A disappearance that reaches into her past.

Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective living in San Francisco. When unspeakable tragedy strikes, she turns to the Californian village of Mendocino to grieve. Seeking comfort in the chocolate-box village she grew up in, Anna instead arrives to news that a local girl has gone missing.

The crime feels frighteningly reminiscent of a crucial time in Anna’s childhood, when an unsolved murder changed the community forever. As past and present collide, Anna is forced to confront the darkest side of human nature.

“A tour de force of literary suspense. It pulled me under and left me gasping.” (Christina Baker Kline, author of The Exiles)

Not for me

The narrator tells too much. Overly sign posted removing reader guess work and curiosity. Thanks
