"When Cleo, a student at NYU, arrives late for dinner at her childhood home in Brooklyn, she finds food burning in the oven and no sign of her mother Kat. Then Cleo discovers her mom's bloody shoe under the sofa. Something terrible has happened. But what? The polar opposite of Cleo, whose 'out of control' emotions and 'unsafe' behavior have created a seemingly unbridgeable rift between mother and daughter, Kat is the essence of Park Slope perfection: a happily married, successful corporate lawyer. Or so Cleo thinks. Kat has been lying. She's not just a lawyer; she's her firm's fixer. She's damn good at it, too. Growing up in a dangerous group home taught her how to think fast, stay calm under pressure, and recognize a real threat when she sees one. And in the days leading up to her disappearance, Kat has become aware of multiple threats"--

Fra New York Times bestselgerforfatter Kimberly McCreight kommer en spennende og nådeløs thriller der en vennegjeng samles 10 år etter at de var ferdig på universitetet. Det blir en gjenforening preget av løgner, svik og drap.Alle har slike vennene. Det spiller ingen rolle hvor lang tid det har gått, hvor ille de har oppført seg fra tid til annen eller hvor sent på kvelden det er når de ringer. Du stiller opp. Uansett.Det var slik vi fem endte opp her i skogen. Vi hadde de beste intensjoner. Spesielt etter det som skjedde med Alice for mange år siden, og vi orker ikke å tanken på å miste flere. Vi vil gjøre absolutt alt for å unngå at det skjer. Mye mer enn vi trodde.Til slutt var det kanskje det som ødela for oss. Det, og at vi er en gjeng med så mye felles historie og hemmeligheter som plutselig og fryktelig ubeleilig kan komme for en dag. Selvfølgelig elsker vi hverandre til tross for alle disse tingene. Vi elsker hverandre uansett.Det er noe veldig vakkert ved denne typen ubetinget kjærlighet. Det kan imidlertid bli stygt. Eller kanskje det bare er oss. Tross alt har vi allerede vært gjennom så mye sammen. Og vi har så mye å skjule.
