Molly Tanner has spent nine years haunted by a single afternoon. She once witnessed a young girl's abduction on a Philadelphia street, and the occasional clairvoyance she had always downplayed surged into overdrive; two days later the child's body was found, and Molly's life came apart under the weight of visions she failed to act on. Seeking a fresh start, she and her husband settle in the close-knit rural community of Boyds, Maryland. That fragile peace shatters when a seven-year-old girl vanishes from a park near Molly's home. Unable to turn away from another missing child, and tormented by everything she could not prevent before, Molly sets out to find her, even as the search strains the marriage she has fought so hard to save. Digging for clues and struggling to interpret her own unreliable visions, she uncovers a darker side of Boyds, where the residents, and the land itself, guard potentially lethal secrets. She also glimpses a side of her husband she never knew, one that threatens to tear them apart. This character-driven mystery pairs a tense abduction case with an eerie paranormal edge.
