Wendy Walker Knihy

V malom bohatom meste Fairview v Connecticute sa všetko zdá dokonalé. Až do jednej noci, keď mladú Jenny Kramerovú napadnú a znásilnia na miestnej párty. V hodinách bezprostredne potom jej podajú kontroverznú drogu, aby jej medicínsky vymazali spomienku na násilný útok. Ale v nasledujúcich týždňoch a mesiacoch, keď sa lieči z fyzických zranení a na útok nemá nijaké faktické spomienky, zvádza Jenny boj s neodbytnými emocionálnymi spomienkami. Jej otec Tom sa priam posadnuto domáha spravodlivosti a trpí pre svoju neschopnosťou nájsť útočníka, zatiaľ čo matka Charlotte radšej predstiera, že desivá udalosť sa nedotkla jej starostlivo vybudovaného sveta. Pri hľadaní pomoci pre dcéru sa zlomové línie v ich manželstve a v uzavretej komunite mesta vynoria z tieňa, kde sa skrývali po celé roky, a vytrvalé úsilie nájsť násilníka, ktorý napadol ich mesto – alebo možno žije medzi nimi –, privedie tento psychologický triler k šokujúcemu a nečakanému záveru.

In Wendy Walker's thrilling novel Don't Look for Me, the greatest risk isn't running away. It's running out of time. The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family that couldn't be put back together. They called it a "walk away." It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over. But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke? Don't Look For Me is: "GRIPPING...WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS... You've got a cracking mystery on your hands." --Adrian McKinty, author of The Chain "A NAILBITER . . . SO MUCH MORE THAN A TWISTY THRILLER. It's a heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!" --Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek

Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault.
