    Summary

    Beth Marks has spent four years rebuilding quiet. It lasts exactly one morning — the day her three-year-old daughter Emma vanishes between the daycare gate and the car.

    The detective assigned to the case wears glasses, speaks in controlled tones, and has the kind of patience that used to be dangerous.

    Beth doesn’t recognize him. Not completely.
    Rio does — the instant he sees the photograph.

    A crime thriller about memory, motherhood, and two people who once survived each other now learning how to survive for someone else.

    Slow burn, high stakes, found family.
