An explosive stand-alone thriller from the Edgar
Award–winning writer Stephen King called “the next suspense
superstar”
Can a person ever really disappear
for good by going off the grid? And what happens when
vanishing is no longer an option?
Sarah Keller is
a single mother to five-year-old Zoe, living quietly in
Oklahoma. She’s also a skip tracer, an expert in tracking
people who’ve gone on the lam to avoid arrest, prosecution,
or debt—pinpointing their locations to bring them to
justice.
When a school bus accident sends Zoe to
the ER, their quiet life explodes. Zoe’s medical tests
reveal what Sarah has been hiding: Zoe is not her daughter.
Zoe’s biological mother—Sarah’s sister, Beth—was murdered
shortly after the child’s birth. And Zoe’s father is missing
and presumed dead.
With no way to prove her
innocence, Sarah must abandon her carefully constructed life
and go on the run. Chased by cops, federal agents, and the
group responsible for Beth’s murder, Sarah embarks on a
desperate journey. Can her knowledge as a skip tracer help
her stay off the grid, remain one step ahead of her
pursuers, and find a way to save her daughter?
