There are two sides to every story...
"Who are you? What have we done to each other?"
These are the questions Nick Dunne finds himself asking on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, when his wife Amy suddenly disappears.
The police suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they weren't made by him. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone.
So what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife?
"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about
the girl who disappeared last night..."
Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening
when two detectives show up at her front door.
A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban
neighborhood. The police suspect the worst--murder. And Erika's teenage
son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.
Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly
perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the
evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth--Liam may have done the
unthinkable.
It's hard to live when you think you deserve to die... When a tired
old inmate is found dead in his cell, the prison is obligated to
investigate and so DI Barton attends. The men he interviews have
been convicted of some of the worst things a human being can do,
but it appears likely that the death was due to natural causes.
When the house of the dead man is burgled and that crime is
followed by a suspicious fire, Barton desperately needs to speak to
his widow, but she's nowhere to be found. In the space of
twenty-four hours, everyone he wants to talk to has vanished. Then
he receives some post which makes him believe he could be the next
to disappear. Barton's investigation goes full circle, through a
series of brutal murders, back to the prison, and all signs are
pointing to the fact that he's made a terrible mistake. There's a
violent killer on the loose, who wants everyone to learn that some
people deserve to die. DI Barton is back as Ross Greenwood
