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

From the bestselling author of All is Not Forgotten comes a thriller about what happens when the desire for love spins out of control...

Van de twee tienerdochters die plotseling verdwijnen uit het huis van hun gescheiden moeder en stiefvader staat drie jaar later het jongste meisje plotseling weer op de stoep bij haar moeder.

"An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB It begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect. 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. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world. As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.

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.

Meet: Gayle Beck, the matriarch of Hunting Ridge society, who struggles to reconcile her picture-perfect life with a numbing sense of unfulfilment; Love Welsh, adoring mother, who battles with memories of a childhood lived in the shadow of a genius father; Marie Passeti, over-stretched divorce lawyer and mother, who has lost her passion for life and for her husband; and Janie Kirk, yummy mummy, whose quest for acceptance knows no bounds. In a world where happiness comes second to appearances, their domestic discontent spirals into an irreversible course of risk-taking, secrecy and self-destruction. For these four wives perfection is just a façade and behind closed doors infidelity, self-doubt and deceit run rife.
