Mélanie sait bien qu’elle a été adoptée, que le charmant Dr Harper Stokes, honorablement connu à Boston, n’est pas son véritable père. Mais elle est loin de se douter qu’elle est en réalité la fille de Russell Holmes, un assassin condamné à mort et exécuté vingt ans plus tôt pour le meurtre de six enfants… dont la propre fille de Harper et de Patricia Stokes. C’est un journaliste de presse à scandale qui lui fait cette révélation. La petite fille qu’elle était alors n’a-t-elle pas été retrouvée comme par hasard, abandonnée et amnésique, à l’hôpital où travaillait justement Stokes, et au moment même de l’exécution de Russell Holmes ? Et qui donc a intérêt à déterrer cette affaire ?
Quand menaces et appels anonymes commencent à lui parvenir, Mélanie se confie au FBI. Mais le jour où le journaliste est retrouvé mort dans des circonstances mystérieuses, elle comprend que son désir de connaître la vérité sur son passé risque de mettre en péril, au-delà de sa raison, sa vie même…

A gripping thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten.

When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking.

A new case brings Frankie to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own. And she soon learns she's asking questions someone doesn't want answered.

But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing will be her ...

'Lisa Gardner to me, is the female version of James Patterson. Her books are fantastic and I could read them every day. D. D.

Découverte macabre à Boston : quatre membres d’une même famille sont retrouvés sauvagement assassinés chez eux. La mère, deux de ses enfants et son compagnon. Seule une personne semble avoir échappé au massacre : Roxanna, 16 ans, la fille aînée. Des témoins affirment l’avoir vue sortir promener les chiens avant les coups de feu. Heureux hasard ou aveu de culpabilité ?

En plongeant dans le passé de Juanita Baez, la mère des enfants, l’enquêtrice D. D. Warren découvre une histoire tourmentée, entre alcool, violences et familles d’accueil, qui pourrait laisser croire à une vengeance. Pourtant, plus elle avance dans l’enquête, plus la voix de Roxanna, victime ou suspecte, semble la supplier en silence : «Retrouve-moi»…

Après les best-sellers Juste derrière moi, Le saut de l’ange, Famille parfaite, Lisa Gardner confirme sa réputation de grande dame du suspense psychologique avec ce nouveau roman qui creuse ses thèmes de prédilection : les liens du sang et la mémoire du mal.
