発行者による作品情報
From New York Times bestselling author Brian Freeman, Photograph is an emotional cold case mystery of hidden identities and startling twists—perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mary Kubica, and Freida McFadden.
Shannon Wells is a private investigator who helps women with nowhere else to go. Last year, a woman named Faith Selby came to Shannon with a strange request: Find out who I really am.
Shannon soon discovered that Faith was hiding a whole other life, but was unable to penetrate the web of mystery the woman had built around her past. Now Faith is dead. The only clue to who she was and why she was murdered is an old photograph of a little girl in the rain outside a Midwestern motel.
The hunt for answers takes Shannon from the hot beaches of Florida to a remote small town in Michigan as she peels away layer after layer of a shocking cold case that has rippled violently into the present. With each secret she uncovers, the danger around her grows—and forces Shannon to confront the demons hiding in her own past.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this immersive standalone from Freeman (The Bourne Vendetta), Florida PI Shannon Wells grapples with haunting visions while trying to make sense of a particularly confounding job. When Faith Selby hires Shannon to look into her own past, Shannon can't find much. Then Faith is murdered, and her daughter, Kate, approaches Shannon with an enigmatic clue: a 26-year-old photograph of a young girl, taken by Faith in a motel parking lot. Shannon's quest to figure out the photo's origins takes her to Michigan, where she teams up with police detective Chuck Kimble and learns the photo may be linked to a cold case murder from 1999. All the while, Shannon is plagued by memories of a past sexual assault and nightmares of witnessing the murder of a woman named Jenny. Freeman's plotting is intoxicatingly knotty, though a few of the answers he provides are far-fetched. Still, well-developed characters and the author's sharp attention to detail make this work more often than not. Psychological thriller fans who are willing to suspend their disbelief should enjoy themselves.
