Danielle Steel brilliantly explores the collision of a shocking crime with the ordinary lives of its victims in a novel that mesmerizes from start to finish. Racing against time in the underbelly of the criminal world, buffeted by the dark side of power, and unmoored by loss and betrayal, no one can predict where this tragedy will take them. Fernanda must draw on a strength she never knew she had. A man of unshakable integrity, Lee will soon become the one person who tries to save Fernanda’s family from a terrifying fate. She simply couldn’t imagine a greater loss, until a devastating crime rocks her family to its core-and brings Detective Ted Lee into her life. For Fernanda, whose life had once been graced by beautiful homes, security, success, and stunning wealth, the death of her brilliant, brooding husband was already too much to bear. Within weeks, the lives of these four people will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen. Four months after her husband’s death, Fernanda Barnes faces a mountain of debt she cannot repay, a world destroyed, and a marriage lost. Across town, in an exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, a mother tries to shield her three children from the panic rising within her. That night, three hundred miles south in San Francisco, police detective Ted Lee comes home to a silent house for twenty-nine years, he has been living for his job-and slowly falling out of love with his wife. Simultaneously, Carl Waters, a convicted murderer, is set on the path of freedom with him. Outside the gates of a California prison, Peter Morgan is released after four long years and vows to redeem himself in the eyes of the young daughters he left behind.
