br. Quando Anthony Amaro fu dichiarato colpevole e condannato all'ergastolo, nessuno pareva avere dubbi: era lui il serial killer responsabile della morte di sei donne in soli sette anni, lui la mente disturbata che lasciava la propria firma rompendo gli arti alle vittime dopo averle uccise. Ma ora, dopo quasi vent'anni, il passato sembra tornare per reclamare un'altra verità: il corpo della psicoterapeuta Helen Brunswick, un tipo di donna molto diverso dalle ragazze perdute solitamente scelte dal killer, viene ritrovato nel suo ufficio a New York, una bambola di pezza con le ossa rotte. Nel frattempo, in carcere, Amaro riceve una lettera anonima. Chiunque l'abbia inviata, conosce il dettaglio delle ossa spezzate post mortem, un'informazione sempre rimasta riservata. Per gli avvocati di Amaro, questa è la prova della sua innocenza. A lavorare alla sua scarcerazione, per uno strano gioco del destino, c'è anche la giovane avvocatessa Carrie Blank, legata a quella vicenda da un terribile passato: Donna, una delle vittime, era sua sorella. Ma Carrie non è la sola a cercare la verità. Il caso viene affidato infatti alla detective Ellie Hatcher, chiamata a riesaminare l'indagine che aveva condotto alla condanna di Amaro. Per trovare le risposte che cercano, le due donne dovranno riportare alla luce oscuri segreti, che il tempo sembrava aver cancellato per sempre. Dopo "Non dire una bugia", la detective Hatcher è ancora una volta protagonista di un thriller intricato e trascinante, capace di farci riflettere sulle scelte che siamo obbligati a compiere e sugli errori cui non possiamo più rimediare.
ill., ril. Si fa chiamare Hope Miller, ma non ha idea di chi sia in realtà. È successo tutto quindici anni fa. Un incidente d'auto. Il trauma cranico che le ha fatto perdere la memoria. Anni di vita cancellati. Trovata senza documenti, e soprattutto senza ricordi, Hope ha dovuto iniziare da capo: nuovo nome, nuova città, nuova vita. Senza mai smettere di chiedersi che cosa si stesse lasciando alle spalle... o da cosa stesse scappando. Non ce l'avrebbe fatta, però, a ricominciare senza Lindsay. Lindsay Kelly, avvocato, è la persona che l'ha soccorsa dopo l'incidente: per Hope un angelo custode, l'unica certezza in un mondo che aveva smesso di esserle amico. Ma adesso Hope ha deciso: è arrivato il momento di vivere la sua nuova vita da sola. Si trasferisce agli Hamptons. Ha trovato un lavoro, sembra, una sistemazione, è pronta. Ma quando, poco dopo, smette di rispondere al telefono e di dare sue notizie, Lindsay capisce che qualcosa non quadra. Ben presto, Hope diventa introvabile; l'unica traccia che sembra essersi lasciata indietro è una goccia di sangue... E quella goccia di sangue, grazie all'analisi del DNA, riporta Lindsay a qualcosa che risale a molti anni prima: il caso terribile dello strangolatore di College Hill, che sembrava chiuso ormai da tempo. E quando si parla di quello spietato serial killer c'è una sola persona che può aiutarla: si chiama Ellie Hatcher e lo strangolatore di College Hill le ha rovinato la vita. E forse, adesso, grazie a Hope, per Ellie è arrivato il momento di mettere la parola fine a quella storia.
br. Chloe è la più giovane delle sorelle Taylor, ma è sempre stata la più amata, forse perché nella sua vita tutto è sempre apparso sotto controllo. Invece Nicky La scapestrata Nicky. Quella che ha sempre combinato tanti casini. Che ha sempre bevuto un po' troppo. Che ha sposato d'impulso il giovane avvocato Adam Macintosh e ha avuto un bambino, ma non sa essere né moglie né madre. Oggi, Chloe e Nicky sono due perfette estranee. Nicky è rimasta a Cleveland, sola. Chloe lavora a New York in un importante giornale di moda. Ce l'ha fatta. Non solo: si è presa qualcosa che apparteneva a Nicky. È stato più forte di loro: lei e Adam si sono innamorati. D'altra parte Nicky, quella volta, l'aveva fatta grossa, e quando Adam ha visto il suo bambino in pericolo, ha deciso che era troppo. Adesso Chloe e Adam sono sposati, e insieme stanno crescendo Ethan, il figlio che Nicky non ha saputo amare. Ma quando Adam viene trovato morto sul pavimento della loro casa di vacanza negli Hamptons, una serie di dubbi comincia ad affacciarsi nella vita di Chloe. Dubbi sul marito, che ultimamente era sempre più reticente a parlare del proprio lavoro. Dubbi sul figlio, che l'adolescenza ha decisamente messo in crisi. E perfino dubbi su se stessa. Perché la verità è molto più di quello che l'apparenza lascia credere. E la vita troppo spesso ci fa dimenticare le cose più vere.
br. Immagina che la polizia arrivi a casa tua e ti mostri una foto in cui tu - con i capelli di quel tuo rosso inconfondibile, il tuo cappotto blu - stai baciando un uomo. Peccato che quell'uomo sia stato trovato morto trentuno ore prima, e tu non ricordi di averlo mai baciato. Anzi, lo conoscevi appena. Era il tuo nuovo capo, l'uomo che ti aveva dato in gestione la galleria per conto di un misterioso proprietario. Il lavoro dei tuoi sogni: ti era sembrato troppo facile, troppo bello per essere vero. Eppure tutto era andato liscio, la galleria esisteva davvero, avevi firmato un contratto regolare. Adesso, però, guardando quella foto capisci che non c'era niente di regolare. Niente di facile. Perché là fuori qualcuno sta cercando di incastrarti, anche se non riesci a immaginare il motivo. Qualcuno che sa molte cose di te. E che forse ti è molto vicino... In questo thriller in cui nulla è come sembra, Alice Humphrey vede crollare intorno a sé, come un castello di carte, ogni certezza. Compresa quella più importante: la sua stessa innocenza.
