Description

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Linda Haley is awakened early one morning by two police officers at the door. She has no idea that her husband has been living a secret life during his daily commute from Scarsdale into the city. Now Guy is the prime suspect in a brutal murder that could derail Linda’s high-powered career and may be connected to a cold case.

And Guy has disappeared.

With a warrant out for her husband’s arrest, Linda sets out to prove his innocence accompanied by an ex-cop who harbors a secret affection for her. Together, they travel to the scene of a forty-year-old unsolved murder and a night of violence that shattered the serenity of a small fishing hamlet just past the Hamptons.

But as the manhunt intensifies and she begins to uncover the shocking truth—and the past Guy has buried deep—Linda must decide if the stranger she married is innocent or guilty. And if he truly deserves to be saved.

Featuring tense, atmospheric suspense that moves at breakneck speed, this Hitchcockian thriller careens from a bedroom community just north of New York City to the picturesque beaches of eastern Long Island to a suburban train station, where a killer hiding in plain sight waits to exact a final revenge.

Featured Reviews

Linda is a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney living with her husband Guy, an unsuccessful writer, in Scarsdale, N.Y. Linda is shocked by the appearance of two police officers at her front door early one morning. Guy is missing and he is the suspect in a vicious murder in a Manhattan hotel. It might be linked to a forty year old cold murder case in the Hamptons on Long Island. Linda and an ex-cop friend embark on a thrilling and probably career-ending search for the truth. Guy has been having a secret life; is he guilty of this murder and the one forty years ago? For those of us familiar with the Metro North train commute and spending time in the Hamptons, this was a treat to read. The characters are very well developed. This book is intense, atmospheric, and the complicated story moves quickly. Highly recommended! With thanks to Netgalley and Penzler Publishers for this ARC. My opinions are my own. susanh_bookreviews
