Dall'autrice bestseller Gillian McAllister arriva un sorprendente e avvincente thriller psicologico su una madre che assiste al suo adolescente mentre accoltella un uomo e poi cerca un modo non convenzionale per cercare di salvarlo. Puoi fermare un omicidio dopo che è già accaduto? È fine ottobre. Dopo mezzanotte. Aspetti tuo figlio diciassettenne. È in ritardo. Mentre guardi dalla finestra, lo vedi emergere e realizzi che non è solo: si sta avvicinando a un uomo ed è armato. Non riesci a credere a ciò che vedi: tuo figlio, solare e divertente, uccide uno sconosciuto proprio lì, sulla strada davanti a casa. Non sai chi sia né perché, sai solo che tuo figlio è ora in custodia. Il suo futuro è distrutto. Quella notte ti addormenti nella disperazione. Tutto è perduto. Fino a quando non ti svegli... ed è ieri. E poi ti svegli di nuovo... ed è l'altro ieri. Ogni mattina ti svegli un giorno prima, un altro giorno prima dell'omicidio. Con un'altra possibilità di fermarlo. Da qualche parte nel passato si trova una risposta. Il grilletto di questo crimine—e non hai altra scelta che trovarlo.
