Cette fois, je vais lui parler. Sans trop savoir pourquoi. Ni où tout cela va me mener... » Hantée par l’image de cette jeune sans-abri et de son bébé, Heidi néglige l’avis de son mari et l’hostilité de sa fille : elle ouvre sa maison à l’inconnue du quai. Qui est vraiment Willow ? Mutique, vulnérable, a-t-elle quelque chose à voir avec l’inquiétante Willow Greer, dont le compte Twitter est plein de conseils macabres sur le suicide ? Peu à peu, la présence de l’inconnue dans la maison agit comme un révélateur des fissures familiales...

"Una primera novela trepidante y llena de giros inesperados". Lisa Gardner "He estado siguiéndola estos últimos días. Sé dónde hace la compra, dónde trabaja. Nunca he hablado con ella. No sé de qué color son sus ojos, ni qué aspecto tienen cuando se asusta. Pero lo sabré." Una noche, Mia Dennett entró en el bar donde había quedado en encontrarse con un amigo con el que salía de vez en cuando. Pero él no apareció, y Mia cometió la imprudencia de marcharse con un misterioso desconocido. Colin Thatcher parecía en principio un ligue inofensivo. Marcharse con él, sin embargo, acabaría siendo el peor error que había cometido en toda su vida. Colin decidió llevarla por la fuerza a una cabaña aislada en las montañas de Minnesota en lugar de entregarla a las personas para las que trabajaba. A partir de ese instante, Eve -la madre de Mia- y el detective Gabe Hoffman no se detendrían ante nada para encontrarla. Nadie, sin embargo, podía predecir las implicaciones emocionales que tendría su secuestro y que acabarían por causar el derrumbe de la vida familiar de los Dennett.
