She knows a lie when she sees one. Because she lived one. FBI Special Agent Kailey Ross hunts monsters. But in the wealthy enclave of Serenity Falls, the monsters don't hide under the bed. They wear designer clothes and smile for the cameras. When six-year-old Lily Mason disappears from her locked home, the media is captivated by her beautiful, devastated mother, Nina. The story is tragic, the public support is overwhelming, and the case seems like a stranger abduction. But Kailey Ross sees the cracks in the porcelain façade. Why did Nina Mason repaint her daughter’s bedroom "Executive White" the day before the abduction? Why does Lily’s iPad show activity when the child was supposedly gone? And why does Nina’s grief feel less like heartbreak and more like a script? Haunted by her own past as a kidnapping survivor, Kailey becomes obsessed with exposing the truth. But Nina is a master manipulator who has prepared for every contingency. As Kailey digs deeper into the Masons' history, she discovers that Lily isn't the first child to vanish from Nina’s life. To find the truth, Kailey must risk her career and her sanity, entering a psychological chess match with a woman who has turned survival into a deadly art form.
