On a hot summer night in 1980, two-year-old Audrey Culter was snatched from her bedroom and never seen again. 26 years later, her brother, Sammy, fatefully crosses paths with the man the police failed to convict for her abduction and murder. A few weeks later, that man is dead, murdered. Private attorney Jason Kolarich is engaged to defend Audrey's brother. But can he trust the people who hired him? Why are they paying for Sammy's defense and why do they want the case heard so quickly? Why, when Kolarich's investigations lead the police to a buried cache of children's bodies, do they kidnap his brother and threaten his life? And finally, what is Kolarich's own connection to the case?

Recensione:
'Some Americans call Ellis John Grisham's heir apparent, and this, his sixth novel, underlines why ... this is a fresh, fast-paced thriller with a heart, that the great man would have been proud of a decade or more ago when he was still at his best ... elegantly told, it's full of ambiguities that reminded me of Clint Eastwood's masterful movie Mystic River: high praise' --Daily Mail
A well-written, surprising, completely original gem. The best suspense novel I've read in a while - James Patterson. A fresh take on the legal thriller, crackles with unexpected twists - like Patricia Highsmith with an extra shot of adrenaline - San Francisco Chronicle. Who does he think he is - John Grisham? The answer has to be - yes, with any luck. Ellis certainly writes as well as his Georgia colleague, and his plotting is certainly sharper - Chicago Tribune. --Reviews
