Description
Hope can be a dangerous thing...
"I absolutely love Alafair Burke - she's one of my favourite authors." - Karin Slaughter
She calls herself Hope Miller, but she has no idea who she really is.
Fourteen years ago, she was found thrown from an overturned vehicle, with no clue to her identity. Hope started a new life, but never recovered her memory.
Now she's missing. With nowhere else to turn, Hope's best friend, Lindsay Kelly, calls NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher.
In pursuit of answers, three women search for the truth beneath long-buried secrets. And when their searches converge, what they find will upend everything they've ever known.
