From the New York Times bestselling author of Matterhorn, a nail-biting thriller where one woman’s search for her sister reveals who her family truly is—and who she must become to save her dad.

Carmella Conti has always felt like she’s missing a sister she never had. It’s an intuition Mel could never shake. Then she sees a photograph of a woman who looks just like her…wearing a necklace identical to her mother’s.

Could it be? As Mel sets out to learn the woman’s identity, her search takes on a new and desperate urgency when her father is diagnosed with leukemia. Unless she finds the woman, her father may die.

But Mel’s investigation leads to unimaginable revelations about her family’s past and secrets long kept about their dark Italian past. Secrets with violent and deadly consequences. As Mel uncovers the truth about her family history, she must confront her own identity and come face-to-face with the deadly skills in her blood.
