A daughter races to uncover the truth about her mother's disappearance in this 'breathless, shocking thriller' - Jodi Picoult

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONE YOU LOVE?

Cleo is a college student: rebellious and provocative, with no interest in playing by the rules.

Kat is her mother and her opposite: a happily married corporate lawyer - the essence of perfection.

But when Cleo arrives home to find dinner burning, a bloody shoe under the sofa and no sign of Kat, it becomes clear that the one thing both mother and daughter have in common is keeping secrets.

Who is Kat really? And if her lies were meant to protect them, how dangerous is the truth?
