    • David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive. David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.

      Over 20 years ago, heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery at her family's estate. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors, and the stolen items were never recovered. Until now. On New York's Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his apartment alongside two objects of note: a Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. Windsor Horne Lockwood III, or Win as his friends call him, doesn't know how his suitcase or his family's lost painting ended up in the dead man's home. But he's interested, especially when the FBI tell him that the men who kidnapped his cousin and stole the painting may still be at large. The case has baffled the FBI for decades. But Win has three things the FBI has not: a personal connection to the case, a large personal fortune and his own unique brand of justice.

      „Vyhýbaj sa ľuďom, čo patria minulosti. Nedovoľ im vracať sa do tvojho života.“ Na začiatku je to len bežná profilová stránka ako veľa iných na webovom zoznamovacom serveri. Ale keď sa Kat Donovanová, vyšetrovateľka newyorského policajného zboru, lepšie zahľadí na sprievodnú fotografiu, akoby jej doterajší svet odrazu vybuchol a znova na ňu ťaživo doľahnú city, ktoré dlhé roky potláčala. Z fotografie na ňu hľadí jej niekdajší snúbenec Jeff, muž, ktorý jej zlomil srdce a ktorého nevidela už osemnásť rokov. V Kat sa rozhorí iskierka nádeje, či práve toto nie je okamih, keď sa pominú dávne tragédie a otvorí sa pred ňou nová budúcnosť. No len čo sa pokúsi nadviazať kontakt s mužom z profilu, oživená nádej sa rýchlo zmení na temné podozrenie a potom hrôzu. Postupne vychádzajú na povrch obludné zločinecké plány a ich korisťou sa stávajú tí najzraniteľnejší. Počet obetí narastá a Katina vyhliadka na opätovné zblíženie s Jeffom sa čoraz väčšmi vzďaľuje. Úplne ju pohlcuje vyšetrovanie vyvolávajúce otázky týkajúce sa všetkých milovaných ľudí – bývalého snúbenca, matky, ba aj otca, ktorého surová vražda sa za dlhé roky nikdy celkom neobjasnila. Kat riskuje životy vrátane vlastného, ponára sa do ešte väčšej temnoty a hľadá v sebe silu, aby sa so svojimi zisteniami vyrovnala.

      Pred šiestimi rokmi sa zúfalý Jake Fisher prizeral, ako si Natalie, jeho životná láska, berie iného muža. Šesť rokov skrýval svoje zlomené srdce a venoval sa kariére univerzitného profesora. Šesť rokov dodržiaval sľub, že manželov nechá na pokoji, a šesť rokov ho ťažili mučivé sny o Natalinom živote s Toddom. Ale ani dlhých šesť rokov nedokázalo zmeniť jeho city. Keď Jake jedného dňa natrafí na Toddov nekrológ, vyberie sa na jeho pohreb – pravdaže, aby videl Natalie. Podarí sa mu zazrieť smútiacu vdovu, ale nie je to Natalie! Neznáma žena bola za Todda vydatá takmer dvadsať rokov. Toto odhalenie úplne zmení všetko, čo si Jake uchovával v pamäti ako vzácnu spomienku na krátke, ale nádherné obdobie vo svojom živote. Jake neúnavne hľadá pravdu. Natalie už celé roky nikto nevidel, sestra zaryto mlčí, kňaz si nepamätá sobášny obrad, priatelia mu neveria a ctihodná univerzita sa nerada delí o svoje tajomstvá. Hľadanie ženy, ktorá mu zlomila srdce a klamala, ho čoskoro privedie do nebezpečných situácií. Zistí, že sa stal súčasťou starostlivo vykonštruovanej fikcie a v ohrození je nielen jeho život.
