In this thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Open Grave, a soccer mom and ex-FBI agent must clear a runaway girl of murder. She's been on the run for almost half her life. Hiding from the law after a thoughtless act of juvenile delinquency goes horribly wrong. "Gone dark" was what they called it, falling so far off the grid, going so deep underground, no one could tie you to your old life. Forget who you are, what you were, where you came from . . . The world has changed since then, has forgiven her crime, has almost forgotten her . . . can Lucy find her to let her know she's free to reclaim her life before she makes another mistake? One that will destroy her life forever. If she leaves the dark, can she survive the light of day? Or is she simply making herself an easy target for an implacable enemy who never forgets or forgives? Gone Dark is the tenth Lucy Guardino novel, but they can be read out of order. If you enjoy captivating suspense, intelligent storytelling, strong and vulnerable characters, and a freight-train pace, then you'll love this adrenaline rush of a heart-pounding thriller from "a master of the genre" ( Pittsburgh Magazine). Praise for the Beacon Falls novels "Combine Dirty Harry with a loving wife and mother and you might end up with Lucy Guardino. Fans of Lyons' hospital-set series will love the change of setting and thrilling pace. . . . You won't be able to put this one down." — RT Book Reviews on Snake Skin "An action packed thriller from page one!
