Following the incredible success of Sara Blaedel's #1 international
bestsellers The Forgotten Girls and The Killing Forest, Louise
Rick--head of the police department's elite Special Search Agency
charged with missing persons cases--returns in Sara's latest
twist-filled suspense novel . . .**
A housewife is the target of a shocking, methodical killing. Shot with a
hunting rifle through her kitchen window, the woman is dead before she
hits the ground.
Though murdered in England, it turns out that the woman, Sofie Parker,
is actually a Danish citizen who's been on the Missing Persons list for
almost two decades--so Louise Rick is called on to the case. Then, in an
unexpected twist, the police discover that Sofie had been reported
missing eighteen years ago by none other than Eik, Louise Rick's police
colleague and lover.
Impulsive as ever, Eik rushes to England, and ends up in jail on
suspicion of Sofie's murder. Completely blindsided by Eik's connection
to the case, Louise is thoroughly unsettled and sick with worry, yet she
must set aside her own emotional turmoil if she hopes to find the killer
in what will become her most controversial case yet...
