Life changes in an instant. On a foggy beach. In the seconds when Abby Mason--photographer, fianc e soon-to-be-stepmother--looks into her camera and commits her greatest error. Heartbreaking, uplifting, and beautifully told, here is the riveting tale of a family torn apart, of the search for the truth behind a child's disappearance, and of one woman's unwavering faith in the redemptive power of love--all made startlingly fresh through Michelle Richmond's incandescent sensitivity and extraordinary insight. Six-year-old Emma vanished into the thick San Francisco fog. Or into the heaving Pacific. Or somewhere just beyond: to a parking lot, a stranger's van, or a road with traffic flashing by. Devastated by guilt, haunted by her fears about becoming a stepmother, Abby refuses to believe that Emma is dead. And so she searches for clues about what happened that morning--and cannot stop the flood of memories reaching from her own childhood to illuminate that irreversible moment on the beach. Now, as the days drag into weeks, as the police lose interest and fliers fade on telephone poles, Emma's father finds solace in religion and scientific probability--but Abby can only wander the beaches and city streets, attempting to recover the past and the little girl she lost. With her life at a crossroads, she will leave San Francisco for a country thousands of miles away. And there, by the side of another sea, on a journey that has led her to another man and into a strange subculture of wanderers and surfers, Abby will make the most astounding discovery of all--as the truth of Emma's disappearance unravels with stunning force. A profoundly original novel of family, loss, and hope--of the choices we make and the choices made for us--The Year of Fog beguiles with the mysteries of time and memory even as it lays bare the deep and wondrous workings of the human heart. The result is a mesmerizing tour de force that will touch anyone who knows what it means to love a child.

All her life Ellie Enderlin had been known as Lila's sister--until the day Lila, a top math student at Stanford, was murdered, and the shape of their family changed forever. Twenty years later, Ellie is a professional coffee buyer who has never put down roots. When, in a chance meeting, she comes into possession of the notebook that Lila carried everywhere, Ellie returns home to finally discover the truth about her sister's death--a search that will lead her to Lila's secret lover, to the motives and fate of a man who profited from their family's grief, and ultimately to the deepest secrets even sisters keep from each other. From the bestselling author of The Year of Fog ("Highly recommended for fans of] authors like Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard."--Library Journal starred review]), this is a riveting family drama about loss, love, and the way hope redefines our lives--a novel at once heartbreaking, provocative, and impossible to put down. Praise for No One You Know "Michelle Richmond's encore to The Year of Fog is an equally addictive read."--Denver Post "Richmond sets out to create not a straight-up thriller, but a novel that explores love, family, work, guilt and the responsibility of the writer to his or her subject, all within the framework of a murder mystery."--San Francisco Chronicle "Michelle Richmond never strikes a false note in No One You Know. . . . It's an intelligent, emotionally convincing tale about a family tragedy and the process of storytelling."--Boston Globe "As complex and beautiful as a mathematical proof, this gripping, thought-provoking novel will keep you thinking long after the last page has been turned."--Family Circle "Beautifully written"--Seattle Times

When she discovers that a student disappeared last year and was found weeks later walking on a beach, shaved and traumatized, Lina can't help but be sucked into an impromptu investigation. Another kidnapping hits closer to home and reveals a sinister link between the Wonder Test and the rampant wealth of Silicon Valley's elite.

En thriller i sektmiljö, för läsare av »Gone Girl« och »Kvinnan på tåget«. Du kommer aldrig att se på äktenskapet på samma sätt igen Nygifta Alice och Jake får ett märkligt erbjudande av en man de träffar på sitt bröllop: att de ska gå med i något han kallar Pakten. Målet för Pakten är tydligt: att hjälpa varandra till lyckliga livslånga äktenskap. Här finns personer från samhällets toppskikt, som delar allt men låtsas att de inte känner varandra om de råkas på stan. Till en början verkar reglerna rimliga: Svara alltid i telefon när din partner ringer. Planera en gemensam resa minst en gång i kvartalet. Nämn aldrig Pakten för någon utomstående. Alice och Jake sveps till en början med i gemenskapen och auran av framgång. Tills en av dem bryter mot en regel. När det går upp för dem vad det är för slags kontrakt de har skrivit under, börjar deras nya liv att framstå som en ond dröm. Pakten, liksom äktenskapet, är något man förbinder sig till på livstid. Och de andra paren är beredda att ta till vilka medel som helst för att helga målet. MICHELLE RICHMOND är författare till sex böcker. The Year of Fog blev en New York Times bestseller. Hon bor i norra Kalifornien med sin familj. Pakten (engelsk titel The Marriage Pact) utkommer den 25 juli 2017 i USA och samma datum i Sverige. Den översätts till mer än tjugo språk och filmrättigheterna är sålda till 20th Century-Fox.
