TODAY, SHE WANTS ANSWERS.
âZigzagging mercilessly between past and present, Donlea keeps up the tension…in a superior thriller.â â Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW
On the first day of an elite two-year fellowship under the renowned Chief Medical Officer Dr. Livia Cutty, Sloan Hastings receives a research assignment in the emerging field of forensic genealogy. Itâs the exciting, rapidly evolving science behind the recent breaks in high-profile cold cases from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder, and Sloan enthusiastically begins her research by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. Her goal is to better understand the treasure trove of genetic information contained on ancestry websites, but the results she receives are shocking.
Raised by loving, supportive parents, Sloan has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka âBaby Charlotte,â who captured the nationâs attention when she and her affluent parents mysteriously vanished in July 1995. Despite a large-scale investigation and months of broad media coverage, there were never any suspects in the familyâs disappearance and the case has been cold for decades.
Racing to stay ahead of the media and true crime junkies ravenous to know what really happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloanâs search for answers leads her to Cedar Creek, Nevada, a small town north of Lake Tahoe. There, the Margolis familyâs power and influence permeate every corner of the county, and while Sloanâs birth relatives are initially welcoming, theyâre also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloanâs return, or the questions sheâs asking.
The more she learns, the more apparent it becomes that the answers Sloan seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets. And someone will do anything to keep them hidden . . .Â
