Twenty years ago, four teenagers at summer camp walked into the woods at night. Two were found murdered, and the others were never seen again. Four families had their lives changed forever. Now, two decades later, their lives are about to change again.

When a dead body is found and is suspected to be one of the missing teens Paul Copeland, Essex County prosecutor and brother of the other missing teen, is dragged back to face the horror of all that his family went through. As he investigates the mystery he is also trying a rape case that will have ramifications on him as well as a number of other families affected by the presumed deaths of the missing teens. Paul will have to face some hard truths about his family, friends and one lost love who his drawn into the story.

So begins Harlan Coben's latest twist filled suspense thriller. As usual it is a page turner, with me staying up way too late to find out how Coben ties together all his loose ends and throws you one twist after another. While not as good as Tell No One and Gone for Good it was still an very and fast paced read.
