Perfect for you if...

You love Coben's standalone thrillers where damaged protagonists with unusual backgrounds solve crimes that others won't touch.
You appreciate mysteries where the emotional core matters as much as the plot mechanics, and you want a protagonist you genuinely care about.
You're looking for a page-turner that doesn't rely on cheap twists but on genuine human stakes and moral complexity.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer light, cosy mysteries or detective procedurals with a steady team dynamic rather than lone-wolf protagonists.
You want a tightly contained mystery that wraps up in a single location; this expands into community secrets and larger networks.
You're not interested in books exploring trauma, abuse, and childhood cruelty as central themes.

About this book

Wilde was discovered as a boy living wild in the woods with no memory of his past. Now an adult, he still doesn't know his origins. When a teenage girl named Naomi Pine goes missing and few people seem concerned, Hester Crimstein—a television criminal attorney who shares a tragic connection with Wilde—asks him to help find her. Hester learned through her grandson that Naomi was heavily bullied at school. Wilde cannot turn away from an outcast in trouble. To locate Naomi, he must return to the community where he has never belonged, a place where the powerful are shielded from consequences despite harboring secrets that could harm many. Wilde must uncover these secrets before time runs out.
