Mommy, I'm scared. Marlena's precious boy lies with his little arm thrown over her thigh. It's pitch-black, and she can hear seagulls. She realises they must be near water, and a new panic rises in her.
At 2 a.m. one icy winter morning, in the smart suburbs of Jefferson County, local father Ben Parker reports his wife Marlena and their little boy missing.
Rushing to the impressive family home, Detective Megan Carpenter finds the halls adorned with pictures of the beautiful, stay-at-home mom and their bright-eyed son. But that's not all she finds...
A bottle of prenatal vitamins in the bathroom cabinet reveal that Marlena is pregnant. Why didn't Ben mention this in his panicked call to the police?
Digging deeper into their seemingly perfect marriage, Megan's fear begins to grow. The couple are separated, there's talk of an affair, and the neighbors report loud fights. And then, Megan tracks a young woman believed to be Ben's secret girlfriend, only to find her lifeless body in a secluded wood.
Ben's watch lies in the undergrowth, and Megan's team think she's cracked the case, but she's sure something's not right. Ben's family has wealth including a private island, and connections in high places. Is someone trying to block their investigation?
As Megan starts to wonder if the answer lies on the Parkers' closely guarded island, just offshore, a shocking revelation makes her question everything. With a killer on the loose, can Megan find the missing pieces to the most complex case of her career and bring Marlena and her little boy home alive? Or will it be too late to save them?
A totally edge-of-your-seat mystery thriller that will have you racing to the end, from a number one, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Michael Connelly and James Patterson.
