A disappearance built around hidden truths

Catherine’s husband vanishes without taking his running shoes, leaving her to reckon with his absence and the children’s unanswered questions. The story also follows Simon, who is alive far away and determined to keep the truth about his departure and marriage concealed. Their two strands meet again when he reappears twenty-five years later, turning a domestic mystery into a psychological thriller about memory, deception, and the cost of secrets. This revised edition was previously published as *The Wronged Sons* and includes an exclusive epilogue; the publisher notes that the main narrative is unchanged from earlier editions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of psychological thrillers centered on marriage and concealed truths
  • Readers interested in alternating perspectives and a long-separated reunion
  • Readers seeking a revised edition with an exclusive epilogue

Book overview

All she wanted was the truth, but she'll wish she never found out.

When Catherine wakes up alone one morning, she thinks her husband has gone for a run before work. But Simon never makes it to the office. His running shoes are by the front door. Nothing is missing--except him.

Catherine knows Simon must be in trouble. He wouldn't just leave her. He wouldn't leave the children.

But Simon knows the truth--about why he left and what he's done. He knows things about his marriage that it would kill Catherine to find out. The memories she holds on to are lies.

While Catherine faces a dark new reality at home, Simon's halfway around the world, alive and thriving. He's doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the truth.

But he can't hide forever, and when he reappears twenty-five years later, Catherine will finally learn who he is.

And wish she'd stayed in the dark.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Wronged Sons, this edition of When You Disappeared includes editorial revisions.

When You Disappeared returns with a fresh cover. This version incorporates an exclusive epilogue; while this enhances the reading experience, the main narrative is unchanged from earlier editions.
