"From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Secret Keeper and The Distant Hours, an intricately plotted, spellbinding new novel of heartstopping suspense and uncovered secrets. Living on her family's idyllic lakeside estate in Cornwall, England, Alice Edevane is a bright, inquisitive, innocent, and precociously talented sixteen-year-old who loves to write stories. But the mysteries she pens are no match for the one her family is about to endure. One midsummer's eve, after a beautiful party drawing hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes discover that their youngest child, eleven-month-old Theo, has vanished without a trace. What follows is a tragedy that tears the family apart in ways they never imagined. Decades later, Alice is living in London, having enjoyed a long successful career as an author. Theo's case has never been solved, though Alice still harbors a suspicion as to the culprit. Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in the London police force, is staying at her grandfather's house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles upon the old estate now crumbling and covered with vines, clearly abandoned long ago. Her curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of events that will bring her and Alice together and reveal shocking truths about a past long gone yet more present than ever. A lush, atmospheric tale of intertwined destinies, this latest novel from a masterful storyteller is an enthralling, thoroughly satisfying read"--

Una historia de secretos, de misterios y recuerdos, de personajes complejos, de vínculos familiares y de todo lo que algunas personas son capaces de hacer por aquellos a quienes aman.
Theo, un niño pequeño, desaparece de una majestuosa casa de campo inglesa durante la noche en la que se celebra la gran Fiesta de Verano en 1933. A pesar de la exhaustiva investigación policial no se encuentra ningún rastro y su familia, devastada y desesperada, empaqueta todas sus cosas, cierra las puertas y se marcha. Regresan a Londres para no volver jamás.
Setenta años después conocemos a un personaje contemporáneo, Sadie Sparrow, que da la casualidad que es inspectora de policía en Londres. Sadie se halla veraneando con su abuelo en su casita de campo de Cornualles, cuando una mañana sale a correr; corre por el bosque, atraviesa un prado y se topa con un claro en el que se encuentra una casa abandonada. No puede resistirse: se arrastra hasta llegar a la vieja mansión y mira a través de una ventana de la planta baja. Y hay algo que le hace sentir que un suceso terrible ocurrió en esa casa. Ahora, llena de curiosidad, está decidida a descubrir lo que pasó.
