Lila Ridgefield vive en una idílica ciudad universitaria cerca de Nueva York que no es tan tranquila como todos creen. Y Lila no es lo que parece.
Aaron, el marido de Lila, se ha esfumado sin dejar rastro. No se trata de un episodio aislado; hace algunos meses, una estudiante desapareció del campus. Los dos casos podrían ser solo una horrible coincidencia, pero la policía descubre que la estudiante es la tercera víctima de una serie de inexplicables desapariciones en los últimos años. La inspectora a cargo está desesperada por encontrar la conexión, si es que esta realmente existe.
En la comunidad, todos están preocupados por el paradero de su querido profesor. Todos excepto Lila que, más que preocupada, está desconcertada por la desaparición de su marido, porque es ella quien lo mató y fue la última persona en ver su cuerpo. Sin embargo, no está donde lo dejó.

Reid Cavanagh is done with his marriage. He wants out. He wants the kids. He wants his wife to shut up. He wants the legal fees to stop. He wants peace.
His wife has to die.

Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller Pretty Little Wife, returns with a gripping domestic thriller in which a family goes missing and a long-buried family mystery resurfaces.
Fifteen years ago, the Tanner family vanished without a trace, leaving behind a chilling scene: half-eaten meals, a bloodstain by the door, and a smoldering fire consuming their business across town.
The once-vibrant home stands untouched, a haunting relic of the past. As rumors fade into local folklore, the mystery of their disappearance seems destined to remain unsolved—until Aubrey Tanner returns.
Now a hardened thirty-year-old, Aubrey arrives in town with secrets etched in her silence. Why did she come back? Was she a victim of the night that changed everything, or does she hold the truth of what happened to her family? The town is rife with theories, but three women share a dangerous bond: they know more than they’ve ever confessed.
As the past resurfaces, old alliances fray. A teacher, a café owner, and a psychologist are drawn together by memories they’d rather forget. Each holds a piece of the puzzle—and a dark secret of their own. When a new disappearance sends shock waves through the town, blackmail begins, and the stakes climb higher.
In a race against time, these women must confront the truth or risk becoming the next victims of a past they cannot escape. With tension rising and danger lurking, one thing is clear: someone is destined to kill again.

Zes gasten. Eén lijk. En een moordenaar die maar één ding wil: wraak.
Het lijkt zo idyllisch: een uitnodiging voor een intiem verlovingsfeest met zes gasten op een privé-eiland. Goed, er is maar één toegangsweg en die is maar een paar uur per dag begaanbaar, en er is niet echt mobiel bereik, maar even helemaal afgesloten zijn van de buitenwereld heeft ook wel zijn charme, toch?
Tenzij je ineens een lijk vindt in de garage van het landhuis, met een briefje erbij: ‘Tijd voor de waarheid’. Wie kun je nog vertrouwen als de angstaanjagende gebeurtenissen zich opstapelen en iedereen geheimen lijkt te hebben? En je niet weet of de moordenaar een onbekende is of een van je medegasten…
Toegelaten worden is moeilijk. Eruit stappen is onmogelijk.
Gabby Fielding krijgt de schrik van haar leven als ze haar ex-man dood in zijn huis aantreft. De politie concludeert dat hij door zelfmoord om het leven is gekomen, maar Gabby denkt dat er meer achter zit. Dan wordt ze benaderd door een man die beweert dat haar ex het zoveelste slachtoffer is van een geheim genootschap dat de afgelopen jaren meerdere succesvolle en prominente mannen heeft vermoord. Een idioot verhaal natuurlijk. Of zou er toch iets in zitten?
Jessa Hall is een succesvolle advocate. Het lijkt haar voor de wind te gaan, zeker als haar informele mentor, de alom gerespecteerde rechter Loretta Swain, haar uitnodigt om lid te worden van een exclusief, geheim genootschap. Maar moet ze daar wel zo blij mee zijn?
Gabby en Jessa kennen elkaar uit hun studietijd en zijn niet bepaald goed bevriend. Maar als hun paden elkaar weer kruisen blijkt al snel dat ze allebei in de problemen zitten – en dat ze zullen moeten samenwerken als ze hier levend uit willen komen.
Elisa Wright leidt een fijn en comfortabel leven in een mooie, rustige stad. Althans, dat was zo, maar nu heeft ze iets ontdekt waardoor ze ervan overtuigd is dat haar zwager Josh een moordenaar is. Zijn verloofde is enkele maanden terug van de ene op de andere dag verdwenen, en hoewel hij beweert dat ze hem verlaten heeft, vermoedt Elisa nu dat er meer aan de hand is. Zeker aangezien de vrouw met wie hij daarvoor getrouwd was om het leven is gekomen door een ongeluk – of iets wat een ongeluk leek. En nu blijkt hij alweer een nieuwe vriendin te hebben.
Elisa vreest voor de veiligheid van deze nieuwe vrouw en is vastberaden om erachter te komen wat er is gebeurd met haar vriendin, de vermiste verloofde van Josh. Maar dat betekent dat ze haar eigen familie moet onderzoeken, en daar is uiteraard niet iedereen blij mee.
