A disappearance becomes a public battle

When Nina vanishes after a weekend at a Vermont cabin, her boyfriend Simon returns alone with an account of their final hours that Nina’s parents find unconvincing. The mystery quickly expands into a conflict between two families: Simon’s wealthy parents mobilize lawyers and public relations, while Nina’s family presses for answers. In the small town, media attention, online speculation, and competing accusations complicate the search for truth. The setup connects a missing-person investigation with questions about family loyalty, wealth, and how a case changes when it becomes a public spectacle.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of adult crime and mystery fiction centered on a missing-person case.
  • For readers interested in family conflict, media scrutiny, and online speculation as part of a suspense plot.

Book overview

A New York Times' best thriller of the year!

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Murder Rule comes an emotional psychological thriller about two families at war.

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family's cabin in Vermont, and in this gripping missing person suspense, only Simon comes home.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Nobody knows. Simon's explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn't add up. Nina's parents push the police for answers, and Simon's parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.

HOW FAR WILL HIS FAMILY GO TO KEEP HIM SAFE?

Soon, facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. In a small Vermont town, everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral, fueled by armchair investigators and wild conspiracy theories and illustrated with pretty pictures taken from Nina's social media accounts.

Journalists descend on their small Vermont town, followed by a few obsessive "fans."

HOW FAR WILL HER FAMILY GO TO GET TO THE TRUTH?

Nina's family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters -- finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon's wealthy, powerful family, Nina's parents recognize that if playing by the rules won't get them anywhere, it's time to break them.
