Det. Darlene O’Hara uncovers a missing college girl’s deadly double life in the #1 New York Times bestselling author’s “killer of a thriller” (Dennis Lehane).

New York City, 2005. Escaping a troubled past, Francesca Pena came to the city and reinvented herself. At New York University, her beauty and charisma are the envy of her privileged pals, yet no one knows the real Francesca—who, after a night of drinking, is now missing.

Detective Darlene O’Hara of the Seventh Precinct sets out to find Pena. But when the case turns high-profile and Homicide is called in, O’Hara—whose binge drinking exacerbates the massive chip on her shoulder—refuses to let go. Risking both her and her partner’s careers, O’Hara defies NYPD brass and Homicide legend Patrick Lowry to pursue her own investigation.

From NYU’s ivory towers to Brooklyn tattoo parlors and skanky strip clubs, O’Hara closes in on her prey. But she has to move fast, because Lowry and the NYPD are about to make a devastating mistake that will leave the real killer free.
