A chance encounter sparks an unrelenting web of lies in this stunning new psychological thriller from national bestselling author Mary Kubica.
She sees the teenage girl on the train platform, standing in the pouring rain, clutching an infant in her arms. She boards a train and is whisked away. But she can’t get the girl out of her head…
Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works for a nonprofit, takes in stray cats.

What starts as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated…

Heidi, a social worker with a frosty pre-teen daughter and exasperated husband, puts her charitable nature to work, bringin...
