Tami Hoag, the New York Times bestselling author, has returned with a captivating and emotionally powerful new thriller! "A gripping thriller that glued me to the pages," praised Freida McFadden. "Tami Hoag expertly balances grit and heart to make the absolute most of a nail-biting story," said Kristin Hannah. "I didn't want it to end!" exclaimed Ana Reyes. "Thrilling, heart-breaking, dangerous, and blazingly smart," praised Luanne Rice. "A gripping crime yarn from one of the best," said Kirkus. "Small-town labels are hard to shake. Hometown hero. Fallen angel. Can anyone ever escape their past?" A murder victim dumped at the dead end of a lonely country road, face and hands obliterated by a shotgun blast, is not the way sheriff's detective Nick Fourcade wants to start his week. His only lead takes him to the family of a hometown hero suddenly gone missing. Marc Mercier left his home for a weekend hunting trip and hasn't been seen since. Meanwhile, sheriff's detective Annie Broussard begins her first day back on the job after suffering a brutal attack by taking on the case of B. Lynn Fontenot, a mother desperate to find her grown son, a recovering drug addict. Robbie Fontenot has been missing for eight days, but the local police have no interest in the case, telling B. Lynn that an adult has the right to disappear, and a missing addict is no big surprise. But B. Lynn swears her son was turning his life around. Sympathetic to a mother's anguish, Annie agrees to help B. Lynn, knowing she's about to start a turf war with the city police. As Annie searches for Robbie Fontenot and Nick investigates the disappearance of Marc Mercier, it quickly becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems in the lives of either man. And it's still not clear whether either-or neither.
