Synopsis

DI Alex Morrow returns in an "atmospheric, chilling thriller" (The Washington Post) that will have you "hooked" (People).

For reasons she can't explain, Alex Morrow is addicted to watching surveillance footage of Roxanna Fuentecilla--a gorgeous Spanish woman who recently relocated to Glasgow under mysterious circumstances. She is also Morrow's prime suspect in an investigation that resembles a soap opera. Until Roxanna vanishes. Morrow traces Roxanna's steps to Helensburgh, a sleepy, picturesque seaside community. But behind the idyllic Victorian homes and quaint storefronts, darkness lurks. When she uncovers an unsettling connection to Roxanna's job back in Glasgow, Morrow suspects that her missing person is more than a white-collar criminal on the lam--she may also be a victim caught up in an international conspiracy. As the truth rises to the surface, Morrow must find Roxanna before any hope of solving the case disappears with her.
