Publisher's Summary

Fans of Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay have a new must-listen in this deviously clever, skillfully plotted suspense novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl Who was Taken, The Suicide House, and Twenty Years Later.

Alex Armstrong has changed everything about herself—her name, her appearance, her backstory. She’s no longer the terrified teenager a rapt audience saw on television, emerging in handcuffs from the quiet suburban home the night her family was massacred. That girl, Alexandra Quinlan, nicknamed Empty Eyes by the media, was accused of the killings, fought to clear her name, and later took the stand during her highly publicized defamation lawsuit that captured the attention of the nation.

It’s been ten years since, and Alex hasn’t stopped searching for answers about the night her family was killed, even as she continues to hide her real identity from true crime fanatics and grasping reporters still desperate to locate her. As a legal investigator, she works tirelessly to secure justice for others, too. People like Matthew Claymore, who’s under suspicion in the disappearance of his girlfriend, a student journalist named Laura McAllister.

Laura was about to break a major story about rape and cover-ups on her college campus. Alex believes Matthew is innocent, and unearths stunning revelations about the university’s faculty, fraternity members, and powerful parents willing to do anything to protect their children.

Most shocking of all—as Alex digs into Laura’s disappearance, she realizes there are unexpected connections to the murder of her own family. For as different as the crimes may seem, they each hinge on one sinister truth: no one is quite who they seem to be . . .

Amazing book!

I am a big fan of Charlie Donlea but this one blew me away! Alex was such a cool character and the supporting characters were all very captivating and unique. The story was phenomenal with lots of twists and turns throughout, even up to the very last chapter. I would highly recommend this book. I was very sad when it was over!

Such a good book! Worth the credit

From the start to the very end, this book is so enthralling. I read a ton of thrillers/mysteries - it has the procedural/ legal aspects, private detective work, journalism, and thrilling storyline. Loved it.

I have been bingeing Charlie Donlea over the past 2 weeks.

This is the fourth audiobook by Charlie Donlea I have finished in less than 2 weeks. The mysteries are captivating! Half of the time I thought I had figured it out I was wrong. The other half there was some crazy twist that had me audibly exclaiming, gasping or commenting out loud. Well written and well performed. Excited to get into the next one now! Cheers!
