"Unger's contemporary thriller offers solid entertainment."
Publishers Weekly
"A nail-biting, nuanced whodunit."
People Magazine
From the bestselling author of Beautiful Lies.
Despite their mostly happy marriage, when their son Ricky's girlfriend vanishes, Maggie and Jones find themselves at odds - Maggie is positive Ricky had nothing to do with Charlene's disappearance, while Jones isn't as sure. With Charlene gone, the memory of another young girl who went missing some twenty years ago is haunting the town. That story didn't have a happy ending, and almost everyone has an unrevealed reason to keep the horror of it firmly in the past.
As Jones and the police turn their focus on Ricky, Maggie must find out the truth about what happened all those years ago. In order to save her son and the young woman whose life hangs in the balance, she'll test the bonds of her community - and find out just how fragile they can be.
"Nancy Linari’s delivery is seductive as she slowly unfurls the layers of this tale of simmering tension and dark secrets. Her perfect delivery, with its sweetness of tone and impeccable timing, soon has you mesmerized as she skillfully leads you farther and farther off the trail and away from the lights. With tight plotting, the author doles out snippets of each character as bit by bit you find out about the missing girl, the package that ends up in the quarry, the slight smell of death in an attic. It’s her ability to keep listeners dancing on the hook that grabs the gut. Linari plays it for all she can - deceiving you over and over and making you love it."
