Book Description:
From New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner, author of Alone and The Killing Hour, comes a thriller that goes from heartbreaking to heartstopping in the blink of an eye....

When someone you love vanishes without a trace, how far would you go to get them back?

For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it's the beginning of his worst nightmare: a car abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, purse on the driver's seat. And his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, gone, leaving no clue to her fate.

Did one of the ghosts from Rainie's troubled past finally catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be the result of one of the cases they'd been working -- a particularly vicious double homicide or the possible abuse of a deeply disturbed child Rainie took too close to heart? Together with his daughter, FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, Pierce is battling the local authorities, racing against time, and frantically searching for answers to all the questions he's been afraid to ask.

One man knows what happened that night. Adopting the alias of a killer caught eighty years before, he has already contacted the press. His terms are clear: he wants money, he wants power, he wants celebrity. And if he doesn't get what he wants, Rainie will be gone for good.

Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, it's still not enough.

As the clock winds down on a terrifying deadline, Pierce plunges headlong into the most desperate hunt of his life, into the shattering search for a killer, a lethal truth, and for the love of his life, who may forever be... gone.

Fascinating. This was the second book I've read by this author. Both times I finished in a matter of days. A well constructed plot with intriguing characters.

This is a trilegy including Alone and Hide. This book was about a 2 star, but it builds to a 4 star. A page turner which holds your interest from beginning to end.

THIS BOOK WAS A DIFFERENT ONE FROM WHAT AUTHOR USUALLY WRITES. REALLY LET THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK HAVE EMOTIONS LIKE US. I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THAT HAS FAMILY. YOU CAN SEE HOW YOU REACT IN SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK.

This page turner is one I really like. It's one that's hard to put down, and is a very chilling story. I nearly read it a second time but I have too many others waiting to be read.

It's a whodunit until the very end."

Lisa Gardner has quickly become one of my favorite writers. This is a great book filled with characters I've come to care about in previous books. I hope this series keeps going and going.
