Summary

‘One of the best thriller writers we have’ - Harlan Coben

‘Dark and dangerous … but where there is also kindness, loyalty, love’ - *Irish Examiner*

In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone - ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk - has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty. But most is not all.
