**SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV+ SERIES STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN**
'A real triumph of storytelling and suspense.' Daily Mail
'A very special kind of twisted genius.' SARAH HILARY
'Complex, hard-hitting and unflinching' Irish Times
'Aching, thoughtful, and compulsively readable.' Vanity Fair
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Cleo Sherwood disappeared eight months ago. Apart from her parents and her two young sons, no one seems to have noticed.
Until Maddie Schwartz, working her first job at the Baltimore Sun, hears of a body that has been pulled from the fountain in a city park. Thinking it's a lead that could make her name, she soon finds that, in 1966, this is a story no-one wants her to tell. . .
What readers are saying:
***** 'A twisty, thrilling, mesmerising ride. I couldn't put it down!'
***** 'It was a delight reading this book. I enjoyed the insight into each character. The mystery was always there, but with a different twist.'
***** 'It really grabbed me. . . more than a simple detective novel.'
***** 'The absolute best Lippman to date. . . This novel grabbed me in the first pages and didn't let go.'
