Więcej o książce

For five years, Ryan Richardson has been haunted by a traumatic night: the violent abduction of his girlfriend, Ali, leaving him with no leads and a cloud of suspicion surrounding him. Although he remains uncharged due to a lack of evidence, the scrutiny from podcasters and internet trolls persists. In an attempt to move on, Ryan changes his last name and enrolls in law school, determined to leave his past behind. However, everything changes during a summer trip to Italy when he receives a call from his father: Ali's car has been discovered submerged in a lake in their hometown, containing two dead men and a cryptic note in Ali's handwriting that reads, "If something happens to me..." While abroad, Ryan encounters the figure who has haunted his nightmares since that fateful night. Driven by the need for answers, he embarks on a frantic journey from the hills of Tuscany to a rural UK village and the vibrant streets of Paris. Unbeknownst to him, his quest for truth will intertwine with a young sheriff’s deputy in Kansas tackling her first case and a Philadelphia mobster grappling with his own losses. In classic Alex Finlay style, the narrative unfolds through distinct, compelling characters, leading to a series of shocking twists that solidify Finlay's reputation as a master of the thriller genre.
