"Brilliant.... A well-crafted psychological thriller." --The New York Times Book Review
When former journalist Rain Winter was twelve years old, she narrowly escaped an abduction while walking to a friend's house. The abductor was eventually found and sent to prison, but years later was released. Then someone delivered real justice--and killed him in cold blood.
Now Rain is living the perfect suburban life, spending her days as a stay-at-home mom. But when another criminal who escaped justice is found dead, Rain is unexpectedly drawn into the case, forced to revisit memories she's worked hard to leave behind. Is there a vigilante at work? Who is the next target? Why can't Rain just let it go?
Introducing one of the most compelling and original killers in crime fiction today, Lisa Unger takes readers deep inside the minds of both perpetrator and victim, blurring the lines between right and wrong, crime and justice, and showing that sometimes even good people are drawn to do evil things.

Staggering, unforgettable
Published by Books. Oxygen. Peanut butter. , 7 months ago
Just finished this -- my first book by this brilliant author. Riveting, unique, INTENSE. This is a latter-day take on The Alienist's "why done it." If you're spellbound by the psychology of crime, I'd say this is a must read. I'm overwhelmed and anxious to read more by Unger ... but dang, girl, I need a little break. Think I'll grab one of Kinsella's "shopaholic" books! On a serious note: if you ever consider the "nature vs. nurture" controversy, this provides much food for thought.
