**From the #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Before She Disappeared_ comes a propulsive thriller exploring "the dark side of family life, where the ties that bind also gag, choke, and strangle" (_Publishers Weekly_).**

**"Lisa Gardner always delivers heart-stopping suspense."--Harlan Coben**

_The family you love the most may be the people you should trust the least. . . ._

Twenty years ago, Melanie Stokes was abandoned in a Boston hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple. Gifted with loving parents, a doting brother, and an indulgent uncle, Melanie has always considered herself lucky. _Until tonight._

Tonight, a has-been reporter turns up, investigating her past. Tonight, the first note arrives, saying, "You Get What You Deserve." And tonight, Melanie has her first, horrifying vision of the past.

Melanie has no memory of her life before the adoption. Now someone wants to give it back, even if it includes the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter in Texas. As Melanie pursues every lead, chases every shadow in search of her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from her past will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth.

**Winner of the Daphne Du Maurier Award for Suspense**
