From literary legend Isabel Allende, an atmospheric, fast-paced mystery about unmasking a serial killer in San Francisco

‘A lot of fun to read’ New York Times Book Review

The Jackson women, Indiana and Amanda, are as close as a mother and daughter can be. Yet, while their bond is strong, they are as different as night and day. Indiana, a beautiful holistic healer, is a free-spirited bohemian; meanwhile her daughter, Amanda, is fascinated by the dark side of human nature.

When a string of strange murders occurs across the city, Amanda plunges into her own investigation, discovering, before the police do, that the deaths may be connected. But the case becomes all too personal when Indiana suddenly vanishes. With her mother’s life now on the line, the young detective must solve the most complex mystery she’s ever faced before it’s too late.
