Fresh from a tour promoting her last book, reclusive true-crime writer
Lydia Strong receives an anonymous cry for help, begging her to find and
protect Tatiana Quinn. Maybe the plea strikes close to her heart; maybe
her investigator's intuition ignites. She takes it on.
But this simple case of a missing teenager soon becomes much more.
Someone wants Lydia to drop the case, someone anxious enough to engineer
the reappearance of one of Lydia's most dangerous adversaries. Now, in
addition to tracing the roots of Tatiana's disappearance on a trail
across the country and eventually overseas, Lydia must find the man who
wants her dead.
"The suspense is almost unbearably high . . . an intelligent thriller,
with a love story [that] adds a poignant and beautiful relief to the
omnipresent evil that pervades the rest of the pages." -- New Mystery
