Graduate students Zoë and Holli only mean to blow off some steam on their road trip to Las Vegas. But something goes terribly wrong on their way home, and the last time Zoë sees her, Holli is in the clutches of a sadistic killer. Zoë flees with her life, changed forever. A year later and still tortured with guilt, Zoë latches on to a police investigation where the crime eerily resembles her abduction. Along with a zealous detective, she retraces the steps of that fateful night in the desert, hoping that her memory will return and help them find justice for Holli. Her abductor―labeled the “Tally Man” by a fascinated media―lies in wait for Zoë. For him, she is not a survivor but simply the one that got away. With an unforgettable heroine, a chillingly disturbed psychopath, and a story that moves at breakneck speed, The One That Got Away is thriller writer Simon Wood at his finest.

Appena laureate, Zoë e Holli sono partite per un viaggio di divertimento a Las Vegas. Ma durante il ritorno è successo qualcosa di imprevedibile e folle. Le due ragazze sono state rapite e trasportate in una sordida camera delle torture. Zoë è riuscita miracolosamente a scappare ed è stata ritrovata dalla polizia, confusa e sotto shock. Da allora la sua vita è cambiata per sempre. L'ultima volta che ha visto Holli, l'amica era inerme nelle mani di un sadico killer. Un anno dopo, ancora tormentata dai sensi di colpa, Zoë s'imbatte in un caso su cui sta indagando la polizia, che sembra somigliare stranamente al suo rapimento. Insieme a un detective molto zelante, Zoë ripercorre i passi di quella fatidica notte nel deserto, sperando che la sua memoria torni e li aiuti a rendere giustizia a Holli. Pian piano, si avvicina sempre più all'uomo che l'ha rapita. L'uomo che marchia le sue vittime sfregiandole con un coltello. Il Marchiatore. Il killer non ha smesso di aspettarla. E il tempo ha alimentato la sua sete di vendetta. Un'eroina indimenticabile, un criminale dalla mente perversa, una storia che si muove a una velocità pazzesca.
