De kunst van het verdwijnen

Więcej o książce

When Hector Lewis cruelly told his daughter she had a nothing face, it was just another example of his harshness. Two decades later, Heloise views her ability to blend into the background as a blessing. In her suburban life, she’s a young widow and a dedicated mom, while in the state capitol, she’s a lobbyist with a good cause but a mediocre record. However, in discreet hotel rooms, she becomes the woman of dreams—if you can afford her. For over ten years, Heloise has maintained a compartmentalized existence, avoiding real friendships and trusting few. But now, her carefully constructed secret life is threatened. Her accountant is asking uncomfortable questions, her protector hints at new dangers, and her employees are untrustworthy. A nearby suburban madam has been found dead, raising suspicions. As Heloise navigates a midlife crisis with life-altering stakes, she learns that her son’s father, a killer and former pimp, might be released from prison, unaware he has a son. He also suspects Heloise has hidden truths. With no formal education or support system, Heloise must reinvent herself once more. Disappearing is familiar territory, but surviving long enough to start anew is the real challenge.
