Everybody knows everyone within the Hollows, a quaint, enchanting town outside of NEW YORK. It's a place where neighbors monitor one another's kids, where people say hello in the supermarket, and where high-school cliques and antics are never quite forgotten. As a kid, Maggie found living under the microscope of small-town life stifling. But as a better half and mother, she's happily returned for the Hollows's insular embrace. As being a psychologist, her knowledge of family histories provides powerful insights into her patients' lives. So when the lover of her teenage son, Rick, disappears, Maggie's intuitive gift proves beneficial to the case-and also dangerous. Eerie parallels soon emerge between Charlene's disappearance and the abduction of another local young lady that shook the community years ago when Maggie was a teenager. The investigation has her partner, Jones, the business lead detective on the truth, acting strangely. Rick, already a brooding teen, becomes even more withdrawn. In a very town where in fact the past is obviously present, nobody is above suspicion, not even a son in the eyes of his daddy. "I know what sort of moment in time can spiral out of control," Jones says to a surprised Maggie as he searches Rick's room for incriminating research. "How the consequences of 1 careless action can cost you everything." As she tries to reassure him that Rick embodies his daddy in all of quite ways, Maggie realizes this might be exactly what Jones fears most. Determined to discover the truth, Maggie pursues her own leads into Charlene's disappearance and exposes a long-buried town secret-one which could ruin everything she retains dear. This thrilling book about one community's complex yet fragile bonds will leave listeners asking, How well do I know the people I really like? And how far would I go to protect them?
