Each passing day brings only doubts about herself and her marriage and yet more unanswered questions about Jack, along with the realization that there are others looking for Jack and the photograph - including one fierce, silent killer who will not be stopped from finding his quarry, no matter who or what stands in his way. Not knowing where he went or why he left, Grace struggles alone to shield her children from Jack’s absence in the days that follow. But later that night, while Grace lies in bed waiting, he drives away in the family’s minivan without an explanation, taking the photograph with him.

When Grace Lawson picks up a newly developed set of family photographs, there is a picture that doesn’t belong - a photo from at least twenty years ago. “Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist luring you in on the first page…only to shock you on the last.”Īn ordinary snapshot causes a suburban mother’s world to unravel in an instant.
