    "In a brilliantly twisted debut set among Boston's elite, Edwin Hill introduces unforgettable sleuth Hester Thursby--and a missing persons case that uncovers a trail of vicious murder ... Harvard librarian Hester Thursby knows that even in the digital age, people still need help finding things. Using her research skills, Hester runs a side business tracking down the lost. Usually, she's hired to find long-ago prom dates or to reunite adopted children and birth parents. Her new case is finding the handsome and charismatic Sam Blaine. Sam has no desire to be found. As a teenager, he fled his small New Hampshire town with his friend, Gabe, after a haunting incident. For a dozen years, Sam and Gabe have traveled the country, reinventing themselves as they move from one mark to another. Sam has learned how trusting wealthy people can be--especially the lonely ones--as he expertly manipulates his way into their lives and homes. In Wendy Richards, the beautiful, fabulously rich daughter of one of Boston's most influential families, he's found the perfect way to infiltrate the milieu in which he knows he belongs--a world of Brooks Brothers suits, Nantucket summers, and effortless glamour. As Hester's investigation closes in on their brutal truth, the bond between Sam and Gabe is tested and Hester unknowingly jeopardizes her own safety. While Gabe has pinned all his desperate hopes of a normal life on Hester, Sam wants her out of the way for good. And Gabe has always done what Sam asks . . ."--Front jacket flap

    Edwin Hill ve svém debutu, mysteriózním thrilleru s brilantní zápletkou, představuje harvardskou knihovnici Hester Thursbyovou, která má zvláštního koníčka: hledá ztracené věci. Hester totiž velmi dobře ví, že i v digitálním věku lidé potřebují pomoc při pátrání. Obvykle si ji klienti najímají, aby našla informace nebo biologické rodiče adoptivních dětí. Ovšem její nová zakázka je úplně jiná a – jak se záhy ukáže – mnohem komplikovanější a hlavně nebezpečnější.

    “Twists that’ll just take your breath away. A salty, stormy and seductive read.” —Mario Giordano, author of Auntie Poldi and the Vineyards of Etna Finisterre Island, off the coast of Maine, is beautiful and remote—the kind of place tourists love to visit. But not everyone is welcome. A dilapidated Victorian house has become home to a group of squatters and junkies, and strangers have a habit of bringing trouble. A young boy disappeared during the summer, and though he was found safely, the incident stirred suspicion among locals. Now another child is missing. Summoned to the island by a cryptic text, Hester Thursby discovers a community cleaning up from a devastating storm—and uncovers a murder. Soon Hester begins to connect the crime and the missing children. And as she untangles the secrets at the center of the small community, she finds grudges and loyalties that run deep, poised to converge with a force that will once again shake her convictions about the very nature of right and wrong . . . “Intense. . . . Hill is adept at building compassion for his characters in a tight-knit social web while implicating them in dark thoughts and actions. He remains a writer to watch.” —Publishers Weekly

Žena tvrdí, že někdo vnikl do jejich odlehlého sídla. Hester a Angela však její verzi moc nevěří. Když je později Hester požádána, aby pomohla s hledáním ztraceným absolventů, její pátrání ji dovede až k odhalení rodinných tajemství a podezřelých aktivit. Finanční skandály, dávná tragédie a nevěra naznačují, že Matsonovi zřejmě mají co skrývat. A poté co je nalezeno tělo jednoho z pohřešovaných, vše náhle nabere mnohem děsivější směr.
