In this riveting page-turner from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Lisa Jackson, a woman searches for the
mother she hasn’t seen in twenty years, and uncovers a
nightmare of greed and deception . . .
In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of
publicity that eluded her in life. Twenty years ago, the
ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity
impersonator, too busy trying to make it big to spare
much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she
leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi’s profile was
rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective
Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or
perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows
the truth isn’t so simple. Because though the broken body
on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi’s clothes and wig, it
isn’t Didi.
Remmi was fifteen when she last saw her mother. Their
parting came in the aftermath of a terrible night in the
Mojave desert when Remmi—who’d secretly stowed away in
Didi’s car en route to meet her crush, Noah Scott—instead
became witness to a mysterious rendezvous. Didi handed
over one of her newborn twins to a man Remmi didn’t
recognize. Subsequently, Didi disappeared, as did Remmi’s
other
half-sibling. Remmi has pleaded with the authorities to
find them, but there have been no clues. Yet she’s always
had the sense that someone is watching her . . .
If the victim isn’t Didi, who is it—and what’s the
connection? Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was
also in the desert that night, and now runs his own PI
firm. He too believes it’s time to find out what really
happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the
truth about Remmi’s missing family begins to emerge . . .
a story of ruthless ambition and twisted lies that
someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .
