The Gripping Thriller That Will Leave Readers Breathless

The bestselling author of Twenty Years Later delivers a chilling thriller where nothing is as it seems, and each reveal is more shocking than the last, culminating in a jaw-dropping final twist. "A gripping thriller that will blow readers away," praises Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author, on Don't Believe It. Robert Dugoni, another New York Times bestselling author, describes the author as "a superb storyteller."

Two abducted girls, one who returns and one who doesn't - this is the haunting premise that sets the stage for this captivating thriller. On the night they go missing, high school seniors Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald are at a beach party in their small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. A massive search is launched by the police, but hope is almost lost until Megan remarkably escapes from a bunker deep in the woods.

A year later, Megan's bestselling account of her ordeal has made her a celebrity. It's a triumphant story, except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing. Nicole's older sister, Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found, and her sister's fate will finally be determined. Instead, the first clue comes from another body - that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan to learn more about that fateful night, as she becomes increasingly convinced that other girls have disappeared and that the cases are connected.

Megan knows more than she revealed in her book. Flashes of memory are pointing to something more monstrous than she had described, and the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror lies in finding exactly what you've been looking for.

This gripping, suspenseful thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats, with each twist and turn more shocking than the last. The author's masterful storytelling and the compelling characters will captivate audiences, leading them on a thrilling journey of discovery and the ultimate confrontation with the darkness that lies beneath the surface.
