Last Seen Alive
Summary
One woman is trapped in the death-grip of the past - and every one of its dark secrets - in this riveting novel of psychological suspense from the award-winning author of The Sisters and Local Girl Missing. She can run… As much as Libby Hall needs a vacation, she’s never considered taking one until she sees the note for a house swap. Suffering a miscarriage was a personal turning point. Saving a child from a burning school was a public one. Just as the emotional fallout of both incidents takes its toll, along comes her lifesavers - the Heywoods, a couple in need of a getaway of their own. But she can’t hide… Libby and her husband Jamie can’t believe their good fortune when they arrive at the Heywood’s isolated seaside estate with its panoramic views - and just in exchange for their drab two-bedroom apartment. How generous of the Heywoods! Yet how odd. Libby almost feels guilty until the home yields disquieting surprises: a fortune in hidden surveillance equipment, a stranger in the garden who watches them, and the make-shift operating room in the basement… Because someone knows her secret… When Jamie falls dangerously ill, all Libby wants is to return to their comfortably imperfect lives. But it’s already too late. Libby has just discovered the Heywoods’ biggest secret. And when it appears that even Jamie is hiding something from her, Libby’s paranoia gets the best of her. It should. For she has buried secrets of her own. As the past comes crawling out of the darkness, Libby fears she’s walked into an elaborate trap. But who has set it? What do they want of her? And what is she willing to risk to make it out alive…?

Missing
Summary
Ein Ort voller Erinnerungen. Ein Ort voller Lügen. Frankie und Sophie wachsen in einer verschlafenen Kleinstadt am Meer auf. Die beiden sind unzertrennlich, verbringen die Abende mit ihrer Clique auf dem alten Pier, trinken Dosenbier und tanzen zu Madonna. Und sie erzählen einander alles. Doch dann verschwindet Sophie eines Nachts spurlos. Zurück bleiben nur ihr Turnschuh am Pier und die Frage nach dem Warum. 18 Jahre später wird dort eine Leiche angespült, und Frankie weiß, dass sie nach Hause zurückkehren und Antworten finden muss. Darauf, was in dieser Nacht wirklich geschah. Denn niemand verschwindet einfach so. Ohne eine Spur. Und vor allem nicht ohne Grund.
