The bestselling author Alice Feeney returns with a thrilling and chilling thriller about marriage . . . and revenge.

Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life. He calls his wife as she drives home to share some encouraging news. He hears Abby brake, get out of the car, and then nothing. When he finally finds her car near the edge of a cliff, the lights are on, the driver's door is open, her phone is still there . . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still full of grief and desperate to find out what happened to Abby. He can't sleep, and he can't write, so he travels to a small island in Scotland to try and get his life back together. Then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.
