On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and
Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and
reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife
disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with
cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head,
but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could
have put anyone dangerously on edge.** Under mounting pressure from
the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the
town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely
bitter--but is he really a killer?
