Bestseller-kirjailijan hyytävä tositarina Stella Nickellistä – äidistä ja vaimosta, joka teki käsittämättömän rikoksen. 5. kesäkuuta 1986 paikalliseen sheriffin toimistoon Auburnin pikkukaupungissa Washingtonin osavaltiossa tuli hätäpuhelu. Kotiäiti Stella Nickell kertoi hädissään, että hänen miehellään Brucella oli kouristuskohtaus. Poliisit ryntäsivät Nickellin kotiin ja löysivät Stellan seisomasta jäätyneenä ovella. Bruce makasi lattialla taistelemassa henkensä puolesta. Stella sai suuren henkivakuutusmaksun, mutta oikeuslääkäri havaitsi, että Bruce oli nauttinut syanidilla päällystettyjä kipulääkkeitä. Viikkoa myöhemmin 40-vuotias Sue Snow kaatui kylpyhuoneensa lattialle. Hän ei koskaan palannut tajuihinsa, ja ruumiinavaus paljasti, että hänet oli myrkytetty syanidipitoisilla päänsärkypillereillä. Aivan kuten Bruce. Samaan aikaan Stella Nickellin tytär Cindy alkoi epäillä äitiään. Hän ajatteli vuosia kestänyttä laiminlyöntiä ja hyväksikäyttöä, Stellan salaisuuksien sotkeutunutta verkkoa, ja harkitsi ilmiantavansa äitinsä FBI:lle... Sydäntäsärkevä teos kertoo äiti-tytärsuhteesta, joka perustui epäluottamukseen ja petokseen, sekä siitä, kuinka suloinen pieni tyttö Oregonista jahtasi amerikkalaista unelmaa päätyen äärimmäiseen rikokseen.Palkittu bestsellerkirjailijaGregg Olsenon yhdysvaltalainen true crimen ja jännityskirjallisuuden mestari. Hän on kirjoittanut urallaan yli 30 kirjaa.

The #1 New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author Gregg Olsen solves a murder among the Amish and reveals the conspiracy to keep it a secret in a heartbreaking and horrifying true-crime story. In 1977, in an Ohio Amish community, pregnant wife and mother Ida Stutzman perished during a barn fire. The coroner's report: natural causes. Ida's husband, Eli, was never considered a suspect. But when he eventually rejected the faith and took his son, Danny, with him, murder followed. What really happened to Ida? The dubious circumstances of the tragic blaze were willfully ignored and Eli's shifting narratives disregarded. Could Eli's subsequent cross-country journey of death--including that of his own son--have been prevented if just one person came forward with what they knew about the real Eli Stutzman? The questions haunted Gregg Olsen and Ida's brother Daniel Gingerich for decades. At Daniel's urging, Olsen now returns to Amish Country and to Eli's crimes first exposed in Olsen's Abandoned Prayers, one of which has remained a mystery until now. With the help of aging witnesses and shocking long-buried letters, Olsen finally uncovers the disturbing truth--about Ida's murder and the conspiracy of silence and secrets that kept it hidden for forty-five years.

Adam and Sophie Warner and their three-year-old daughter are vacationing in Washington State's Hood Canal for Memorial Day weekend. It's the perfect getaway to relax--and to calm an uneasy marriage. But on Adam's first day out on the water, he sees Sophie abducted by a stranger. A hundred yards from shore, Adam can't save her. And Sophie disappears. In a nearby cabin is another couple, Kristen and Connor Moss. Unfortunately, beyond what they've heard in the news, they're in the dark when it comes to Sophie's disappearance.

But as Adam's paranoia about his missing wife escalates, Lee puts together the pieces of a puzzle. The lives of the two couples are converging in unpredictable ways, and the picture is unsettling. Lee suspects that not everyone is telling the truth about what they know--or they have yet to reveal all the lies they've hidden from the strangers they married.
