On a rainy June morning, tens of thousands of people crowd into Duluth for the city’s biggest annual event: the Duluth Marathon. Exhausted runners push to reach the finish line and spectators line the streets to cheer them on. Then, in a terrifying echo of the Boston bombing, there is an explosion along the race course, leaving many people dead and injured. Within minutes, Jonathan Stride, Serena Dial, and Maggie Bei are at work with the FBI to find the terrorists behind the tragedy. As social media feeds a flood of rumors and misinformation, one spectator remembers being jostled by a young man with a backpack not far from the bomb site. He spots a Muslim man in a tourist’s photo of the event and is convinced that this was the man who bumped into him in the crowd–but now the man’s backpack is missing. When he tweets the photo to the public, the young man, Khan Rashid, becomes the most wanted man in the city. And the manhunt is on. But are the answers behind the Duluth bombing more complex than anyone realizes? And can Stride, Serena, and Maggie find the truth before more innocent people are killed?

Detective Jonathan Stride's first wife, Cindy, died of cancer eight years ago, leaving a lingering shadow over his relationship with current partner, Detective Serena Dial. When Serena witnesses a brutal murder outside a Duluth bar, she uncovers a case linked to Cindy's last year. At that time, Cindy and Stride were on opposing sides of a domestic murder investigation involving Janine Snow, a brilliant surgeon accused of killing her husband. Cindy believed in Janine's innocence, while Stride was convinced of her guilt, despite the absence of the murder weapon. Cindy's efforts to assist Janine led to a high-profile trial, resulting in Janine's conviction and imprisonment. In the current investigation, Serena discovers a gun tied to the murder of a woman linked to organized crime, which turns out to be the same weapon used in Janine's case. This connection between two seemingly unrelated cases raises troubling questions for Stride. As he delves deeper, he suspects that he may have wrongfully imprisoned an innocent woman and grapples with reconciling his past with Cindy while trying to open his heart to Serena.

Fino a quando è possibile salvare una vita spezzata? Jonathan Stride, sempre pronto a combattere per chi ha bisogno, scopre di notte, al suo cottage sul lago Superior, un'intrusa: Cat, una sedicenne con il peso di un passato traumatico e ferite profonde. Dieci anni prima, una terribile notte ha segnato la sua vita, ma il presente la perseguita con una minaccia concreta. Stride decide di aiutarla, riconoscendola da un incontro recente. Tuttavia, non sospetta che, oltre alla sua paura per Cat, dovrebbe temere anche lei: le sue menzogne si intrecciano con la verità, le sue allucinazioni sono inquietantemente reali, e il coltello che nasconde sotto il cuscino è solo un indizio della sua instabilità. La scia di morte che accompagna Cat rende la situazione ancora più pericolosa. Con colpi di scena, rivelazioni e cambi di prospettiva, la narrazione si sviluppa in un thriller avvincente, capace di tenere il lettore con il fiato sospeso fino all'ultima pagina. La maestria dell'autore rende questa storia un'esperienza indimenticabile.

Ci sono verità che è meglio lasciare sepolte sotto una coltre di neve. È notte quando il detective Jonathan Stride arriva nel piccolo cimitero di campagna dove riposa sua madre, a Shawano, Wisconsin, un luogo dove non metteva piede da vent'anni. Nel buio, la sua torcia illumina la neve che cade piano, mentre una campana arrugginita suona nel vento. All'improvviso, i fari di un'auto della polizia fendono l'oscurità; un agente scende dall'auto, si avvicina a una lapide e si toglie la vita con un colpo alla tempia. Stride è un estraneo in quella piccola città e lo sceriffo non gradisce né la sua presenza né la sua curiosità. Eppure il detective non può dimenticare quanto è accaduto proprio davanti ai suoi occhi: vuole risposte, ed è disposto a trovarle da solo. Anche a costo di riaprire le pagine più oscure del passato di Shawano...
