Synopsis: For fans of Gone Girl and of Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay&’s domestic suspense—a gripping novel by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kevin O'Brien, in which &“the other woman&” becomes the prime suspect when the wife goes missing. Some nightmares you can&’t forget From the depths of sleep, Seattle TV reporter Anna Malone awakens to her phone ringing. She rarely drinks, and this hangover is brutal. Why can&’t she shake the feeling that something terrible happened last night? And why can&’t she recall any of it? But even worse What Anna does remember: an awkward restaurant meal with her married lover, Russ Knoll, and his unsuspecting wife, Courtney. Russ&’s phone call reveals that Courtney is missing, and as days go by with no trace, he comes under police scrutiny. Anna&’s in the spotlight too, thanks to a TV rival with a grudge. Anna&’s not proud of her affair, but she and Russ aren&’t bad people. They&’re certainly not the killing kind. Is the one you can&’t remember . . . Anna already suspected that Courtney—a successful, charming author—might have a darker side. Is she truly missing? Perhaps the sudden disturbances in Anna&’s life aren&’t accidental after all. But no scenario that Anna imagines can compare to the twisted game unfolding around her, one chilling piece at a time . . .
