The day Anna McDonald's quiet, respectable life exploded started off
like all the days before: Packing up the kids for school, making
breakfast, listening to yet another true crime podcast. Then her husband
comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly
alone.
Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the
podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own -- a
sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But
this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from
an earlier life, a life she's taken great pains to leave behind. And
she is convinced that she knows what really happened.
Then an
unexpected visitor arrives on her front stoop, a meddling neighbor
intervenes, and life as Anna knows it is well and truly over. The devils
of her past are awakened -- and they're in hot pursuit. Convinced she
has no other options, Anna goes on the run, and in pursuit of the truth,
with a washed-up musician at her side and the podcast as her guide.
