A modern master of suspense, critically acclaimed author Charlie
Donlea returns with a taut, gripping novel about the deadly secrets
hiding in plain sight . . .
The truth is easy to miss, even when it’s right in front
of us. As a forensic reconstructionist, Rory Moore sheds light on
cold-case homicides by piecing together crime scene details others fail
to see. Cleaning out her late father’s law office a week after his
burial, she receives a call that plunges her into a decades-old case
come to life once more.
In the summer of 1979, five Chicago
women went missing. The predator, nicknamed The Thief, left no bodies
and no clues behind—until police received a package from a mysterious
woman named Angela Mitchell, whose unorthodox investigation skills
appear to have led to his identity. But before police could question
her, Angela disappeared.
Forty years later, The Thief is about to be
paroled for Angela’s murder—the only crime the DA could pin on him. As a
former client of her father’s, Rory becomes reluctantly involved with
the killer—though he continues to insist he didn’t murder Angela.
Now he
wants Rory to do what her father once promised: prove that Angela is,
in fact, still alive.
