Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife comes a bold combination of true crime, psychology, and a hint of the metaphysical.
‘A novel of both great sadness and great beauty; a gripping story drenched in the exquisite allure of the natural world.’ - Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale
‘A tour de force of literary suspense. It pulled me under and left me gasping.’ - Christina Baker Kline, author of The Exiles
‘Visceral and hauntingly suspenseful.’ - Aimee Molloy, author of The Perfect Mother
A detective hiding away from the world. A disappearance that reaches into her past.
Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective living in San Francisco. When unspeakable tragedy strikes, she turns to the Californian village of Mendocino to grieve. Seeking comfort in the chocolate-box village she grew up in, Anna instead arrives to news that a local girl has gone missing.
The crime feels frighteningly reminiscent of a crucial time in Anna’s childhood when an unsolved murder changed the community forever. As past and present collide, Anna is forced to confront the darkest side of human nature.
