The New York Times bestselling author of Black Creek Crossing returns with his latest tour de force, involving the search for a group of missing people from various walks of life - all of them entangled in the web of an obsessive madman. A chilling exercise in suspense that asks, "What if a woman discovers that the one man she entrusts with her life is really her worst enemy?" Shortly after Kara Marshall and her husband put their Long Island home on the market in order to move to Manhattan, their teenage daughter Lindsay disappears. Though the police are certain the girl has simply taken off in anger at her parents, Kara maintains that something worse has happened; she is convinced that her child has been abducted. Bit by bit, and then with a sudden shocking discovery, Kara realizes that her suspicions are correct: her daughter has been abducted (along with a number of other missing persons). At the mercy of a deranged killer, the victims, too, are trapped in a Perfect Nightmare.
