Shari Lapena

Salaisuudet ja valheet syöksevät rauhallisen naapuruston keskelle painajaista. Perhetrillerien mestari pitää lukijan varpaillaan. Kun 28-vuotias Amanda löydetään surmattuna järveen upotetusta autosta, Aylesfordin pikkukaupungin kadut täyttyvät kysymyksistä ja epäilyksistä. Amanda oli viehättävä ja pidetty, mutta tunsiko kukaan häntä sittenkään kunnolla - edes hänen miehensä Robert?Samaan aikaan perheenäiti Olivia saa selville, että hänen 16-vuotias hakkeripoikansa on murtautunut naapureiden koteihin ja urkkinut näiden tietokoneita. Poika on päässyt käsiksi synkkiin salaisuuksiin, ja Olivia pelkää hänen tietävän liikaa. Herkullisen synkkä psykologinen trilleri koukuttaa ja yllättää.

Tähtikirjailijan vetävä perhetrilleri paljastaa pikkukaupungin pimeän puolen. Idyllisessä Fairhillissä ei koskaan tapahdu mitään. Kaikki tuntevat toisensa, ovia ei tarvitse lukita ja kaduilla voi kävellä pimeälläkin turvallisin mielin. Kaikki muuttuu, kun lukiolaistyttö Diana Brewerin ruumis löytyy heinäpellosta. Paikallisten epäilykset kohdistuvat Dianan omistushaluiseen poikaystävään. Poliisi löytää kuitenkin muita murhasta epäiltyjä, ja tutkimusten edetessä pelko ja epäluulo valtaavat kaupungin. Vihan varjot on piinaavan jännittävä kertomus nuoren naisen kuolemasta, joka iskee parantumattoman haavan pienen yhteisön sydämeen.

Perheidylli muuttuu painajaiseksi tähtikirjailijan hyytävässä psykologisessa trillerissä. Brydenilla ja Samilla menee hyvin: heillä on upeat urat, rakas tytär, tyylikäs asunto luksustalossa ja luotettava lähipiiri. Sitten Bryden katoaa kesken etätyöpäivän. Kotona kaikki näyttää normaalilta: hänen puhelimensa, avaimensa ja autonsa ovat tavallisilla paikoillaan. On kuin Bryden olisi haihtunut ilmaan. Kun poliisi alkaa tutkia katoamista, epäilykset kohdistuvat sekä Brydenin läheisiin että kerrostalon vauraisiin asukkaisiin. Onko pienen perheen elämä sittenkään ollut täydellistä? Onko joku satuttanut Brydeniä? Onko joku tehnyt jotain, mitä on myöhäistä katua?
