From the bestselling 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.

"First Lisa Gardener but won't be the last. Looks like the 2 main characters Quincy and Rainie may be in other books also. Enjoyed the mystery and looking back the hints and clues were hidden there. Real people with real problems helped make the book believable."
— Cheryl (4 out of 5 stars)
" This was a fairly decent book, yet I still knew who the bad guy was before the end. Always a disappointment to me. "
— Jonna, 2/15/2014" i love quincy and rainie! they are some of my favorite characters! "
— Melissa, 2/8/2014" This was my first book by her, I actually enjoyed it. "
— Wolf, 2/6/2014" I've always enjoyed books by this author for their mystery and in increasing tension and suspension as the story progresses. This is no exception. "
— Sherri, 1/17/2014" My first Quincy & Rainie book. I probably marginally prefer Lisa Gardner's D.D. Warren series at this stage, but yet another great thriller with a surprise ending from Lisa Gardner. "
— David, 1/17/2014" My mother in law gave me this one and I must admit that after Pig Island I was going to give Mo Hayder a wide berth but I really enjoyed the characters and gripping plot of this one - despite again starting in the middle of a series. "
— Emma, 12/10/2013" I really enjoyed this one! "

— M.F., 11/1/2013" Had a hard time getting into this one...ended well at least. "
— Melissa, 9/15/2013" Love her thrillers! Always tense, but with realistic emotion, Gardner's talents grow with each book. Fun to revisit Pierce and Rainie and Kimberley and Mac. The mystery had some good twists, but it was obvious where she was going, still always fun! "
— Moey17, 8/5/2013" I haven't read this author before and just picked it up at someone's house too - not really a suspense reader but it didn't seem very good (although I did have to find out how it ended) - a little too Hollywood. "
— Barb, 7/18/2013" not as good as THe perfect husband - but I did enjoy the book and trying to figure out who was really good and who was the kidnapper ... I did not peg the person who was it and I usually do - so I was very surprised at the ending ... "
— Kristy, 7/18/2013" This is my 1st Rainey/Quincy novel and I enjoyed it. Good characters, good ploy. Wanted to see what happens on the next page. Didnt figure out who was the kidnapper. I was pulling for Rainey and Quincy by the end of the book. "
— Mark, 6/24/2013" 4.5 I'm docking .5 because I figured out who dunnit. Even so it was a well-written thrilling listen. "
— Gwenn, 5/9/2013" This book was a really quick read and kept me in suspense. I thought the twist was great and would recommend this book to anyone. I'm looking forward to reading more books from the same author. "
