Synopsis It starts off as a regular day--they share eggs for breakfast and everything. But that night Tim Blake's teenage daughter Sydney doesn't return home from her job at a hotel in their small New England town, and everything he thought he knew about his daughter--and in some senses, the world they live in--begins to unravel. When Tim goes looking for her, it turns out Sydney has never worked at the hotel. She's been leading a double life, a dark, depraved, and dangerous one. Seasoned British thriller author Linwood Barclay portrays Tim's desperate search for the daughter he loves with a stark realism that makes the suspense and action all the more gripping.
