In this "relaxing, breath-taking" new mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of The Life We Bury, Karin Slaughter, a woman finds herself in a race not just for justice but also for her life.
Lila Nash has made a comfortable life for herself and her partner, Joe Talbert, and is about to start her dream career as a prosecutor under the Hennepin County Attorney. However, matters at work get personal when a woman is retrieved from the Mississippi River barely alive.
The police suspect that Gavin Spenser, a local photographer, attacked the woman, but the evidence against him soon becomes shaky. Gavin appears to have anticipated this probe, and his level of preparation is unfathomable.
Justice gets more elusive the more determined Lila is to lock Gavin up. Lila is aware that time is running out as she battles a resentful new employer and is plagued by memories of her own horrific attack, which she has kept a closely guarded secret for eight long years. It will take everything Lila has to outwit a murderer in a race against a sinister mastermind—and to break free from the grip of her own history.
