Oui sommes-nous vraiment ? Et de quoi, en certaines circonstances, serions-nous capables ? Dérangeant, ultra-angoissant, un roman noir redoutablement efficace, de ceux qui nous mettent face à nos propres zones d'ombre. Kenny va bientôt mourir. Un cancer foudroyant. Il voudrait partir l'âme en paix, réparer ses offenses, ses lâchetés, ses oublis. À l'égard de Caille surtout, son amie d'enfance. Mais Callie a disparu. Fugue ? Meurtre ? Et si seul le mari connaissait la réponse ? Bientôt le soupçon vire à l'obsession. Kenny est prêt à tout pour obtenir des aveux... Le piège, cruel et sans issue, se referme sur le bourreau comme sur la victime.

Patrick's fears begin to fade. But then one night something happens that is so shocking, so deplorable, that it rips apart everything he ever held to be true - and unleashes a horror he could never have imagined ..."--Jacket.
