About this listen

Fans of Lisa Unger and Allen Eskens won’t want to miss this thrilling new suspense novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl Who Was Taken! Hiding her own dark past in plain sight, a TV reporter is determined to uncover the truth behind a gruesome murder decades after the investigation was abandoned. But TWENTY YEARS LATER, to understand the present, you need to listen to the past…

Avery Mason, host of American Events, knows the subjects that grab a TV audience’s attention. Her latest story - a murder mystery laced with kinky sex, tragedy, and betrayal - is guaranteed to be ratings gold. New DNA technology has allowed the New York medical examiner’s office to make its first successful identification of a 9/11 victim in years. The twist: the victim, Victoria Ford, had been accused of the gruesome murder of her married lover. In a chilling last phone call to her sister, Victoria begged her to prove her innocence.

Emma Kind has waited twenty years to put her sister to rest, but closure won’t be complete until she can clear Victoria’s name. Alone she’s had no luck, but she’s convinced that Avery’s connections and fame will help. Avery, hoping to negotiate a more lucrative network contract, goes into investigative overdrive. Victoria had been having an affair with a successful novelist, found hanging from the balcony of his Catskills mansion. The rope, the bedroom, and the entire crime scene was covered in Victoria’s DNA.

But the twisted puzzle of Victoria’s private life is just the beginning. And what Avery doesn't realize is that there are other players in the game who are interested in Avery’s own secret past—one she has kept hidden from both the network executives and her television audience. A secret she thought was dead and buried...

Accused of a brutal murder, Victoria Ford made a final chilling call from the North Tower on the morning of 9/11.

Twenty years ago, no one listened.

Today, you will.

TWENTY YEARS LATER, to understand the present, you need to listen to the past...

Plot Twist

Very engaging, felt it was a little too drawn out of a story. Did not need to be that long but the ending held me captive!

Great story.

The narrator was very good, the story was just fantastic. The author must have been scheming for years to come up with this story.

LOVE this Author!!

I adore this author. Love the stories, that they’re well paced and interesting, and reference characters from their other books. The characters are well developed and interesting, skill sets varied so they don’t feel dry and boring after time. Love love love this author. Dreading the day I finish all their books and have to move onto someone different.

Tuff to finish

This book was just long. Very hard to get attached to the characters and at times dry.

my least favorite book by the author

usually the this author is so good at catching my but this book took serval tried to get into. usually once I start a book I completed the first time around no issues but this book took me three different occasions to get through the book. Just kept getting caught up on how boring the story was The end did turn out to have a nice twist but no front action.
