In the final installment of her Lydia Strong series, bestselling author Lisa Unger, writing as Lisa Miscione, brings us her most shocking and emotionally wrenching case yet. An NYPD detective visits Lydia and her husband, P.I. Jeffrey Mark, to inform them that Lily, one of Lydia’s former writing students, has been missing for more than two weeks. Before she disappeared, Lily had tried to get in touch with Lydia, seeking her help. Could this have had something to do with the death of Lily’s brother, which Lily refused to accept as a suicide? If they want to discover the truth, Lydia and Jeffrey will have to follow the trail that Lily left behind, a trail of evidence that—like Lily herself—seems to disappear like smoke.

"This is the 4th in a really good series. This was a little less good, as it focused less on the female protagonist, but still a great read."
— John (4 out of 5 stars)
" I found this book a bit confusing and boring at times. I didn't read the other books in the series, so that might be one reason why. I did like that the author didn't repeat things over and over like some mystery writers do. "
— Denise, 11/26/2013" The last of this series, this is the best...well written, you can see the maturity in her early writing here... "
— Phyllis, 10/9/2013" a wonderful 4 star read. I will miss Lydia, Jeffrey and Dax, any chance bringing them back? "
— Annie, 9/29/2013" Great mystery, even if it's a little long. Loved the cult, THE NEW DAY, right? Will read more Lisa Ungar, if only the later novels. . . . "
— Sally, 7/21/2013" Nice read but not as well written as some of her later books. Nonetheless, good story and I would read another in this series. "
— Linda, 7/13/2013" Good story, but much too long. Dragged at times. "
