Jonathan's wife disappeared more than twenty years ago. Now he's
seeing her everywhere . . .
New York in the 1990s - impoverished writer Jonathan Dainty takes his
wife Maddie out to the beach for her birthday. Hours later he finds
himself at the local police precinct trying to explain how on earth he
let his wife get into a stranger's car, and allowed it to drive her
away.
More than twenty years later, Maddie is presumed dead and Jonathan has
channelled his grief into a best-selling series of crime novels. As far
as he can, he is living the perfect life.
Then one day he catches a glimpse of his dead wife, moving through a
throng of people. Is Maddie alive? Has she come back? And why does no
one believe him? As Jonathan attempts to uncover the truth, it soon
becomes clear that the people closest to him are hiding something,
something that could change everything . . .
