A cold case with two timelines

Forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore is drawn into a case that links her late father’s law office to the disappearance of five Chicago women in 1979. The investigation centers on The Thief, a predator who left no bodies or clues, and Angela Mitchell, whose inquiries appeared to expose the killer before she vanished. With The Thief nearing parole for Angela’s murder, a cryptic file gives Rory reason to question the case as it was understood. The story’s mystery turns on the gaps between an old investigation and the evidence Rory uncovers decades later, bringing forensic reconstruction and a decades-old disappearance into the same suspense narrative.

Book overview

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later, a twisting, impossible-to-put-down novel about the deadly secrets hiding in plain sight . . .

Some choose darkness.
Others are chosen by it.

Forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore sheds light on cold-case homicides by piecing together crime scene details others fail to see. Cleaning out her late father's law office after his burial, she receives a call that plunges her into a decades-old case . . .

In the summer of 1979, five Chicago women went missing. The predator, nicknamed The Thief, left no bodies or clues behind--until police received a package from a mysterious woman named Angela Mitchell, whose unorthodox investigations appeared to unmask the killer. Then Angela disappeared without a trace. Forty years later, The Thief is about to be paroled for Angela's murder. But the cryptic file Rory finds in her father's law office suggests there is more to the case.

Making one startling discovery after another, Rory becomes helplessly entangled in the enigma of Angela Mitchell and what happened to her. As she continues to dig, even Rory can't be prepared for the full, terrifying truth that is emerging . . .
