New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan
weaves the intimate, unputdownable story of an investigator
confronting the most important--and most dangerous--mystery
of her career.
Investigative reporter Max Revere has cracked many cases,
but the one investigation she's never attempted is the
mystery from her own past. Her mother abandoned her when she
was nine, sending her periodic postcards, but never
returning to reclaim her daughter. Seven years after the
postcards stop coming, Martha Revere is declared legally
dead, with no sign of what may have happened to her. Until now.
With a single clue—that her mother’s car disappeared sixteen
years ago in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay—Max drops
everything to finally seek the truth. As Max investigates,
and her mother's story unfolds, she realizes that Martha
teamed up with a con man. They traveled the world living off
Martha’s trust and money they conned from others.
Though no one claims to know anything about Martha or her
disappearance, Max suspects more than one person is lying.
When she learns the FBI has an active investigation into the
con man, Max knows she’s on the right path. But as Max digs
into the dark secrets of this idyllic community, the only
thing she might find is the same violent end as her mother.
