Overview
Un caso abierto en un pueblo lleno de secretos en el que desenterrar el pasado puede ser mucho más peligroso de lo que parece.
Hace treinta años la hermana gemela de la agente del FBI Atlee Pine fue secuestrada. Tenía solo siete años y, aunque todo el mundo da por hecho que fue asesinada, para Atlee es un caso que no dará por cerrado hasta descubrir qué ocurrió. Unas vacaciones forzosas la llevan de vuelta a su antiguo hogar y Atlee reúne algunas pistas con los recuerdos de personas que conocieron a la familia. Sus padres, abrumados por la culpa, se separaron tras la tragedia; el padre acabó suicidándose, y poco después la madre la abandonó. La aparición del cadáver de una mujer en plena calle cubierta con un velo de novia la obliga a dejar a un lado su investigación y a concentrarse en atrapar al asesino antes de que vuelva a actuar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, FBI Agent Atlee Pine returns to her Georgia hometown to investigate her twin sister's abduction, only to encounter a serial killer.
FBI Agent Atlee Pine's life was never the same after her twin sister Mercy was kidnapped -- and likely killed -- thirty years ago. After a lifetime of torturous uncertainty, Atlee's unresolved anger finally gets the better of her on the job, and she finds she has to deal with the demons of her past if she wants to remain with the FBI.
Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum head back to Atlee's rural hometown in Georgia to see what they can uncover about the traumatic night Mercy was taken and Pine was almost killed. But soon after Atlee begins her investigation, a local woman is found ritualistically murdered, her face covered with a wedding veil -- and the first killing is quickly followed by a second bizarre murder.
Atlee is determined to continue her search for answers, but now she must also set her sights on finding a potential serial killer before another victim is claimed. But in a small town full of secrets -- some of which could answer the questions that have plagued Atlee her entire life -- and digging deeper into the past could be more dangerous than she realizes . . .
