When the rich, successful husband of a beautiful New York
actress mysteriously disappears, she plunges into a
desperate search to find him... and into a menacing web of
secrets, deception, and danger. Once again Judith
McNaught, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Night
Whispers, crafts a thrilling tale filled with unrelenting
suspense, unforgettable characters, and powerful
undercurrents of greed, ambition, and desire.
Leigh Kendall reveled in her stellar Broadway acting
career and in her marriage to Logan Manning, scion of an
old New York family. When her husband finds an old country
cottage, he decides to build their dream house and
surprise Leigh with her first view of the mountain
property. After a Sunday night performance, Leigh heads
north to join him, and into a blinding blizzard. Lost and
alone, she's deliberately run off the road. When she
awakes in the local hospital, seriously injured, she asks
for her husband. The police arrive to inform her that he
has myteriously disappeared, and Leigh, although obviously
distraught, becomes the focus of their suspicions.
The more she discovers about her husband and his business
affairs, the less she realizes she knew about Logan
Manning, and the more terrified she becomes. Now, with no
one to help her, she is heading deeper and deeper into
unknown territory... where friends and enemies are
impossible to distinguish, and where the truth becomes the
most terrifying weapon of all.
