An explosive stand-alone thriller from the Edgar Awardโwinning writer Stephen King called โthe next suspense superstarโ
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. Sheโs also a skip tracer, an expert in tracking people whoโve gone on the lam to avoid arrest, prosecution, or debtโpinpointing their locations to bring them to justice.
When a school bus accident sends Zoe to the ER, their quiet life explodes. Zoeโs medical tests reveal what Sarah has been hiding: Zoe is not her daughter. Zoeโs biological motherโSarahโs sister, Bethโwas murdered shortly after the childโs birth. And Zoeโs 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 Bethโs 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?
Meg Gardiner is acclaimed for her richly drawn characters, propulsive plotting, relentless suspense, and shocking twists. The Shadow Tracer delivers on those fronts and more.
