The Girl Who Wasn't There

The New and Improved Second Edition!

Trust no one. Not your best friend, not your wife, not the police-and certainly not yourself.

Sidney O'Keefe just wants to spend a peaceful weekend alone with his wife and daughter in the vacation paradise of Lake Placid, New York-now that he's been paroled after a ten-year stretch in a maximum-security prison.

But any illusion of a peaceful future is destroyed when his eleven-year-old daughter, Chloe, suddenly disappears from the iconic beach scene, leaving Sidney and his wife, Penny, stricken with fear and panic.

When it's determined that his old crime boss, Mickey Rabuffo, might be behind the abduction, it becomes apparent that the past has not only come back to haunt Sidney, but it's come back to kill the entire family. With the village police assuming that Sidney, an ex-con with a history of prison violence, is responsible for his daughter's disappearance, Sidney is left with no choice-he needs to take the law into his own hands-not only to expose the truth about what's developing into a conspiracy of Biblical proportions, but also to render his own particular brand of rough justice.

From New York Times bestselling Thriller and Shamus Award winning author Vincent Zandri comes a riveting novel that you won't be able to put down for long. For fans of Michael Connely, Gyllian Flynn, Lawrence Block, Stephen King, Harlan Coben, and more.
