From the author of the Reese's Book Club Pick and the New York
Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes a new heart-stopping
thriller in which a missing-person case unravels deeper, darker
secrets that lead a detective to an impossible moral choice. Not
everyone who is lost should be found... 22-year-old Olivia has been
missing for one day...and counting. She was last seen on CCTV,
entering a dead-end alley. And not coming back out again. Julia,
the detective heading up the search for Olivia, thinks she knows
what to expect. A desperate family, a ticking clock, and long hours
away from her husband and daughter. But she has no idea just how
close to home this case is going to get. Because the criminal at
the heart of the disappearance has something she never expected.
His weapon isn't a gun, or a knife: it's a secret. Her worst one.
And her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find
out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her
murder. If you find her, you will lose everything. What would you
do? This clever and endlessly surprising thriller is laced with a
clever look at family and motherhood, and cements Gillian
McAllister as a major talent in the world of suspense and a master
of creating ethical dilemmas that show just how murky the
distinction between right and wrong can be.

your son is now in custody, his future shattered. That night you
