Thirteen-year old Lizzie Hood and her next door neighbor
Evie Verver are inseparable. They are best friends who swap
bathing suits and field-hockey sticks, and share everything
that's happened to them. Together they live in the shadow of
Evie's glamorous older sister Dusty, who provides a window
on the exotic, intoxicating possibilities of their own
teenage horizons. To Lizzie, the Verver household, presided
over by Evie's big-hearted father, is the world's most
perfect place.
And then, one afternoon, Evie disappears. The only clue: a
maroon sedan Lizzie spotted driving past the two girls
earlier in the day. As a rabid, giddy panic spreads through
the Midwestern suburban community, everyone looks to Lizzie
for answers. Was Evie unhappy, troubled, upset? Had she
mentioned being followed? Would she have gotten into the car
of a stranger?
Lizzie takes up her own furtive pursuit of the truth,
prowling nights through backyards, peering through windows,
pushing herself to the dark center of Evie's world. Haunted
by dreams of her lost friend and titillated by her own new
power at the center of the disappearance, Lizzie uncovers
secrets and lies that make her wonder if she knew her best
friend at all.
