Description
When Reece returns to his parents’ home, he finds his father—and a woman he believes is his mother—dead in the same bed, shattering the life he thought he understood. What looks like a murder-suicide quickly unravels into a maze of inconsistencies, and a call from his real mother only deepens the horror: she’s alive, but she’s missing, and she insists she can’t be the woman in the room. As Reece scrambles to piece together what happened, he’s pulled into a web of family secrets, possible mistaken identities, and a chilling trail that reaches back to the unscrupulous pharmaceutical company his father worked for. With Linwood Barclay’s signature blend of suspense and psychological tension, this thriller asks how well anyone can truly know the people closest to them—and what happens when the truth comes for you first.
