she will drop her infant daughter off at daycare for the first time and return to her job as a
literary agent. Finally. But after she arrives at the office police officers storm the foyer:
in the city just near her work a man has taken three hostages and is now in a tense standoff
with law enforcement. And Luke the person shes loved for more than a decade the father of her
child is involved. But he is not a hostage. He is the kidnapper. All she has is a half-written
cryptic note that Luke left for her. Seven years after the crime that shocked the nation and
her husbands subsequent disappearance Camilla has slowly accepted that she will never have
answers about what really happened that day. But just as she prepares to let Luke go for good

kidnapping and sends her on a dangerous search for the truth. What follows is a propulsive
twisty story of motherhood marriage and the secrets at the heart of our closest

her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel
what it would be like to find themselves in those situations (Emily Henry).
