Suspense | Thriller | Mystery Psychological
A dark, compulsively readable psychological suspense debut,
the first in a new series featuring the brilliant,
fearless, chaotic, and deeply flawed Nora Watts—a character
as heartbreakingly troubled, emotionally complex, and
irresistibly compelling as Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander
and Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole. It begins with a phone call that Nora Watts has dreaded for
fifteen years—since the day she gave her newborn daughter
up for adoption. Bonnie has vanished. The police consider
her a chronic runaway and aren’t looking, leaving her
desperate adoptive parents to reach out to her birth mother
as a last hope. A biracial product of the foster system, transient,
homeless, scarred by a past filled with pain and violence,
Nora knows intimately what happens to vulnerable girls on
the streets. Caring despite herself, she sets out to find
Bonnie with her only companion, her mutt Whisper, knowing
she risks reopening wounds that have never really healed—
and plunging into the darkness with little to protect her
but her instincts and a freakish ability to detect truth
from lies. The search uncovers a puzzling conspiracy that leads Nora
on a harrowing journey of deception and violence, from the
gloomy rain-soaked streets of Vancouver, to the icy white
mountains of the Canadian interior, to the beautiful and
dangerous island where she will face her most terrifying
demon. All to save a girl she wishes had never been born.
