domach może być tylko złudzeniem Siedemnastoletnia Haley McWaid, chluba
rodziców, pewnego dnia znika. Po trzech miesiącach poszukiwań jej najbliżsi są
przygotowani na najgorsze. Dan Mercer, pracownik opieki społecznej troszczący

manipulacji. Absolutny triumf sztuki budowania fabuły. Wszystkie tajemnice i
zagadki przeplatają się u Cobena i wzmacniają nawzajem niczym fragmenty

Maar die is twee weken eerder bruut vermoord. Verbeeldt ze het zich? Ze zou het zo graag willen, maar het kan gewoon niet waar zijn. Voor zijn nieuwste thriller ging Harlan Coben uit van de intrigerende vraag: kun je alles vertrouwen wat je met eigen ogen ziet, vooral als je dat wanhopig graag wilt? Voordat Maya de ongelooflijke waarheid aankan over haar man - en zichzelf - moet zij die vraag beantwoorden, door eindelijk de confrontatie aan te gaan met de geheimen en het bedrog uit haar eigen verleden.

Maar dan krijgt Wendy een vreemd telefoontje. Enkele lang verborgen geheimen komen bovendrijven, en Wendy vraagt zich af of ze destijds wel echt zo'n goed onderzoek heeft gedaan, of dat een onschuldige man het slachtoffer is geworden van een veel groter schandaal.
