In a brilliantly twisted debut set among Boston's elite, a captivating sleuth, Hester Thursby, tackles a missing persons case that reveals a trail of murder. Hester, a Harvard librarian, utilizes her research skills to run a side business locating lost individuals, typically reuniting long-ago prom dates or adopted children with their birth parents. Her latest challenge is finding the charming Sam Blaine, who has no intention of being found. Years ago, Sam fled his small New Hampshire town with his friend Gabe after a traumatic incident. For over a decade, they have traveled the country, reinventing themselves and manipulating wealthy, lonely individuals to gain access to their lives. In Wendy Richards, the stunning daughter of a powerful Boston family, Sam sees an opportunity to infiltrate a world of luxury and privilege. As Hester's investigation uncovers dark truths, the bond between Sam and Gabe becomes strained, putting Hester's safety at risk. Gabe, desperate for a normal life, looks to Hester for hope, while Sam sees her as a threat that must be eliminated. Gabe has always followed Sam's lead, complicating their already precarious situation.
