Book description
El nuevo thriller de la autora del best seller internacional La pareja de al lado. Bienvenidos a Stanhope. Un barrio seguro... y perfecto para las familias. William Wooler es, a primera vista, un padre y marido entregado. Pero ha estado teniendo una aventura que esa misma tarde ha tenido un horrible final en un motel de las afueras. Cuando regresa a casa, destrozado y enfadado, se sorprende al ver que Avery, su hija de nueve años, ha salido antes de la escuela y pierde los estribos. Horas más tarde, la familia de Avery comunica su desaparición. De repente, Stanhope ya no parece un barrio tan apacible. Y William no es el único que esconde una mentira. A medida que los testigos aportan información, que puede o no ser cierta, sobre la desaparición, los vecinos de Avery se muestran cada vez más desquiciados. ¿Quién se ha llevado a Avery Wooler? Nada te preparará para la verdad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "The most addictive book I've read in ages--so slick and disquieting and clever.

Hours later, Avery's family declares her missing. Suddenly Stanhope doesn't feel so safe. And William isn't the only one on his street who's hiding a lie.
