What REALLY happened that night in the desert, when it all went up in flames?
Searching for the mother she hasn’t seen in 20 years, a woman uncovers a web of lust, ambition, and betrayal in this fast-paced, brilliantly twisted, #1 bestselling page-turner for readers of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, and Karin Slaughter.
In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of publicity that eluded her in life. 20 years ago, the ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity impersonator, too busy to spare much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi’s profile was rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows the truth isn’t so simple. Because though the broken body on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi’s clothes and wig, it isn’t Didi.
Remmi was 15 when she last saw her mother. They parted in the aftermath of a terrible night in the Mojave Desert when Remmi—who’d hidden in Didi’s car en route to meet her crush, Noah Scott—instead witnessed Didi handing over one of her newborn twins to a strange man. Then Didi disappeared, as did Remmi’s other half-sibling. The authorities have found no clues. Yet Remmi has always sensed that someone is watching her . . .
Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was also in the desert that night and now runs his own PI firm. He too believes it’s time to find out what happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the truth begins to emerge—a story of ruthless ambition and lies that someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Twenty years after celebrity impersonator Didi Storm disappeared in Las Vegas with her young twins, abandoning her teen daughter Remmi, a woman dressed to look like her jumps to her death from a San Francisco building in this twisty, suspenseful romantic thriller from bestseller Jackson (Ruthless). The apparent suicide of Didi's look-alike, which Remmi witnesses, follows the publication of a true crime tell-all chronicling the events of Didi's disappearance. With the help of her long-ago flame, Noah, Remmi desperately attempts to uncover what happened to both her vanished mother and her twin siblings all those years ago, while Det. Dani Settler with the SFPD reopens Didi's cold case. Their separate investigations reveal a tangled web of lies, money, and familial betrayal. As Remmi gets closer to Noah and narrows in on the truth of her past, an unnamed marksman hunts her in her present. The many threads of this action-packed, female-driven mystery are tied together by the mesmerizing, larger-than-life character of Didi Storm, who haunts the book to its final pages.
