Te levantas. La casa está vacía. Tu familia ha desaparecido. Es una mañana que no olvidará jamás. Cynthia Archer, de quince años, despierta con una fuerte resaca y temiendo la inevitable confrontación con sus padres. Pero cuando sale del dormitorio no encuentra a nadie. No ve a sus padres, tampoco a su hermano, Todd. De repente. Sin dejar rastro. No están. Veinticinco años después, Cynthia sigue con varias preguntas y ninguna respuesta. ¿Asesinaron a su familia? Si fue así, ¿por qué a ella no? Y si están vivos, ¿por qué la abandonaron de un modo tan cruel? Cynthia tiene ahora su propia familia, y una hija. Teme que les vuelva a ocurrir lo mismo, por eso accede a participar en un programa televisivo sobre el extraño suceso, con la esperanza de que aparezcan nuevas pistas… o de que su padre, su madre o su hermano se pongan finalmente en contacto con ella. Lo que llega es una carta que le pone a Cynthia los pelos de punta. Quizá revolviendo el pasado haya cometido el peor error posible. «Las páginas vuelan. Es un thriller para leer de un tirón.» MICHAEL CONNELLY «Barclay no da gato por liebre en este exquisito menú de tres platos que, lo más importante, son totalmente plausibles. Eso sí, quizá tengas que pararte a respirar hondo cuando lleguen los cafés.» The Guardian
