In this haunting thriller from the multimillion-copy bestselling author Irina Shapiro, a mother looking for a safe harbor uncovers decades of dark secrets. Perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Hidden Pictures.

Investigative journalist Hannah Webb's last story ended in tragedy and destroyed her marriage. To secure custody of her daughter, she has moved to the quiet town of Maplewood, determined to prove she can give Maddy the safe, ordinary life she deserves.

Exploring her new neighborhood, Hannah comes upon an old mansion stranded among the modern developments—its windows dark, its tower rising above the midnight trees. Then she sees her: a dark-haired child watching from the window. But the girl shouldn't exist. No child has lived in the house since eight-year-old Ashley Parrish vanished there twenty years ago.

Hannah only asks a few questions. Any mother would. But when she discovers that Ashley was not the only girl to disappear, the old habits return, and Hannah cannot look away.

But she is stirring dangerous ghosts and, during Maplewood's annual celebration, Maddy is taken. Hannah came here to stop investigating. Now, uncovering the truth may be the only way to bring her daughter home.
