Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Edgar Award
When reporter Ellen Gleeson gets a 'Have You Seen This Child?' flyer in the mail, she almost throws it away. But something about it makes her look again, and her heart stops. The child in the photo looks exactly like her adopted son, Will.
All her instincts tell her to deny the similarity between her son and the photo, for she knows his adoption was lawful. But she's a journalist and can't stop thinking about the image until she figures out the truth. Moreover, she can't shake off the question: if Will rightfully belongs to someone else, should she keep him or give him up?
As she investigates, uncovering clues no one was meant to discover, she digs too deep, endangering her own life - and that of the son she loves.
In this emotionally charged, heart-pounding thriller Lisa Scottoline has broken new ground. Look Again examines the very essence of parenthood and raises a question that will haunt readers long after they have finished the last page: 'What would I do?'
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Scottoline (Lady Killer) scores another bull's-eye with this terrifying thriller about an adoptive parent's worst fear the threat of an undisclosed illegality overturning an adoption. The age-progressed picture of an abducted Florida boy, Timothy Braverman, on a "have you seen this child?" flyer looks alarmingly like Philadelphia journalist Ellen Gleeson's three-year-old son, Will, whom she adopted after working on a feature about a pediatric cardiac care unit. Ellen, who jeopardizes her newspaper job by secretly researching the Braverman case, becomes suspicious when she discovers the lawyer who handled her adoption of Will has committed suicide. Meanwhile, Will's supposed birth mother, Amy Martin, dies of a heroin overdose, and Amy's old boyfriend turns out to look like the man who kidnapped Timothy. Scottoline expertly ratchets up the tension as the desperate Ellen flies to Miami to get DNA samples from Timothy's biological parents. More shocks await her back home. Author tour.
