From an Edgar Award–winning author, a domestic thriller in which “a neighborly social call turns nightmare in the Florida panhandle” (Kirkus Reviews). Liana Clymer only wanted to escape her life. Still wounded by her painful divorce and estranged from her adult sons, she leaves everything behind for a sweet cottage in a remote part of the Florida panhandle. Seeking out company, she decides to call on her nearest neighbor. A choice she will live to regret. The shy, kind teenage boy who answers the door seems harmless, until his image flashes up on the TV behind him and Liana realizes Justin is a child being held against his will. Now the psychopath holding him captive has no intention of letting Liana go, either. All Liana has left is her desperate desire to survive—and to save Justin, too. But does she have what it takes to outwit their depraved captor?
