B.A. Paris

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped. But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby. The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt. Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…

Twelve years later, Finn has built a new life with Ellen, Layla’s sister, when he receives a phone call. Someone has seen Layla. But is it her – or someone pretending to be her? If it is her, what does she want? And what does she know about the night she disappeared?

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better. But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable. Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows. Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.

Cass se spopada z občutkom krivde, ker ni naredila ničesar, da bi morda lahko rešila življenje. V nevihtni noči se je vozila domov po podeželski gozdni poti, ko je na robu ceste zagledala avto, v njem pa žensko, ki sicer ni dajala znakov, da potrebuje pomoč. Toda naslednji dan so prav to žensko našli umorjeno. Cass skuša pregnati misli na zločin: kaj pa bi v resnici sploh lahko naredila na nevarni cesti sredi nevihte? Njen mož bi pobesnel, če bi izvedel, da je prelomila obljubo in se domov pripeljala po bližnjici. In po vsej verjetnosti bi se tudi njej kaj zgodilo, če bi stopila iz avta. Toda od tega dogodka jo spomin začne puščati na cedilu: pozabi, kje je pustila avto, ali je vzela tablete, kakšna je koda za alarm v hiši, zakaj je naročila otroški voziček, če pa sploh ni noseča. Edino, česar ne more pozabiti, je tista ženska, ki bi jo morda lahko rešila. Pa tudi nenehni telefonski klici, ko na drugi strani vlada tišina. In občutek, da jo nekdo opazuje … Je to res morilec ali pa ji možgani ne delujejo več, kot je treba?
