It's always the husband... Isn't it? Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself. Her husband Brandon is sure that she's alive - after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation. As the days pass, Brandon starts to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance, perhaps in her murder. But Brandon isn't telling the police the whole truth. Not about Astrid's stalker, their broken-in back door, or the threatening messages. Then a woman's body is found in the woods. By staying silent, is Brandon protecting Astrid, or protecting himself? From the bestselling author of The Regret and The Box, this heart-pounding thriller is perfect for readers of Harlan Coben, Mark Billingham and Alex North.
