Stranded in her broken down car on a dark and deserted mountain pass high above LA, Katrina Shonsky is relieved when a shiny new Bentley stops and the female driver offers her a welcome lift. So relieved, in fact, that she falls asleep, and is oblivious when the big car makes a sudden turn onto an obscure road and heads for a cold, dark place. Days later Detective Milo Sturgis and his psychologist friend Alex Delaware are called upon to investigate a strange crime. A new Bentley, stolen from outside its owner's house in the exclusive area of Brentwood, has been returned completely undamaged. Except for a small bloodstain on the driver's seat. It is this small drop of blood that leads the pair back in time to a decade-old triple slaying and the long-ago disappearance of a couple in New York. From the author of Gone and Obsession.
