SUMMARY
No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann
Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of
Trust No One
and River Road delivers a novel that twists and turns
into a read that will leave you breathless.
Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a
secret tore them apart. Now it might take them to their
graves.
They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack
twelve-year-old Madeline in her grandmother's hotel. They
thought
they knew his fate. He wouldn't be bothering them
anymore...ever. Still their lives would never be the
same.
Madeline has returned to Washington after her
grandmother's mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned
hotel—a place she
never wanted to see again—a dying man’s last words convey
a warning: the secrets she and Daphne believed buried
forever
have been discovered.
Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will
be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust
the local
police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain’s
new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries
that
surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts...and
wants.
Jack is no good at relationships but he does possess a
specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate
understanding
of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of
Jack's brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of
them will form
an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at
nothing to hide the truth....
