Michael Connelly described this book by saying "it just flies off the page. It's a one-sit thriller. You sit down with this book and you won't get up again until you've turned the last page" and I couldn't agree more.

Cynthia's family disappear when she is young after an argument between her and her parents when she has been discovered parked up with the local bad boy, drunk.

Narrated by her husband 25 years later, the story begins with Cynthia trying to re-open the hunt by appearing on a TV show called 'Deadline'

You can't help feel sorry for Cynthia as she can't decide which is worse; were her family brutally murdered or did they run off without her.

Clues start arriving which makes you change your mind over and over again. When the truth comes out it's still a total surprise, although you feel, perhaps , it was staring you in the face all along.

A well written, emotional roller-coaster which you can't put down until the shocking climax.
