You're drawn to stories about identity and deception where the stakes escalate beyond the initial disappearance.

About this book

Widower Luke Driskell remarries quickly to Ashley and her daughter Joy. When Ashley heroically rushes into a burning day-care center to save children, she becomes a social media sensation. Shortly after, Ashley and Joy vanish without a trace. Desperate to find them, Luke discovers he cannot verify that Ashley even exists. Among her belongings, he finds a hidden collection of fake IDs bearing different names and cities but the same photograph. Luke is forced to confront troubling questions: Who is the woman he married? What is she concealing? As Luke pursues answers across the country, his search becomes increasingly perilous. Ashley's secrets prove far darker and more complex than he anticipated, and uncovering the truth threatens to endanger them all.
