"Endlessly surprising . . . [A] twisty tale." --Wall Street Journal After a very public mental breakdown, Rachel Childs, once a tenacious, globe-trotting journalist, now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband. Until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray. As does Rachel's marriage. As does Rachel herself. Sucked into a conspiracy thick with deception, violence, and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths. "A sleek thriller . . . Well-crafted suspense." --Tampa Bay Times "Terrific . . . Lehane is the master." --Gillian Flynn "A pleasantly twisted character study and a love story." --Washington Post
