However, perfection isn't always everything it seems, which is what Tessa finds out when she finds that the family has disappeared.
It doesn't make any sense. A happy family, living the American dream...just gone? Tessa suspects foul play, especially when their abductors seemed to have left nothing behind that resembles any sort of demand. With only a pile of electronic devices and an experienced sense of intuition, Tessa sets out to uncover this great mystery with trepidation. What sort of secrets will she uncover about this picture-perfect little family? What have they been hiding all these years? And is Tessa ready to find out the answers to her many questions?
As Tessa begins wading through the family's darkest secrets and uncovers their sordid past, she's continually reminded that time is ticking away. Will she get to the truth before it's too late?

"I love Lisa Gardner's work, and many of her books have accompanied me on long
ugly commutes. Tessa Leoni, now a private eye and not a cop, is still as
interesting. Now that she isn't confined to things like pesky rules of evidence,
she can really work to find a missing family. An idyllic family life is not...
old story. But this one has twists that will keep you up at night and even look
at your own family life to see if it's real. "
