"In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movie-theater employees were killed in an armed robbery, while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanished from the annual State Fair. Neither crime was ever solved. Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases quietly echo through survivors' lives. A private investigator in Vegas, Wyatt's latest inquiry takes him back to a past he's tried to escape-- and drags him deeper into the harrowing mystery of the movie house robbery that left six of his friends dead. Like Wyatt, Julianna struggles with the past-- with the day her beautiful older sister Genevieve disappeared. When Julianna discovers that one of the original suspects has resurfaced, she'll stop at nothing to find answers. As fate brings these damaged souls together, their obsessive quests spark sexual currents neither can resist. But will their shared passion and obsession heal them, or push them closer to the edge? Even if they find the truth, will it help them understand what happened, that long and faraway gone summer? Will it set them free-- or ultimately destroy them?"-- provided by publisher

Eine Verbrecherfamilie zum Verlieben Für die Kinder von Buddy, einem Mafioso der unteren Ebene, und Lillian, einer charmanten Taschendiebin, ist die kriminelle Unterwelt das einzige Leben, das sie je kannten. Nachdem die Familie gezwungen ist, Las Vegas fluchtartig zu verlassen, eröffnen sie einen Club in Oklahoma City – einer Stadt, die eine Goldmine für leicht verdientes Geld zu sein scheint. Von klein auf werden die fünf Brüder und Schwestern in das dunkle Familiengeschäft hineingezogen – bis der Tag kommt, an dem sie vor der Aufgabe stehen, den eigenen Weg in der Welt zu finden. Wie alle wollen sie es, ganz im Sinne des amerikanischen Traums, weiterbringen als ihre Eltern – aber das ist gar nicht so leicht. »Ein wahrhaft überwältigendes Meisterwerk der Kriminalliteratur!« Don Winslow
