July 11, 2016
Zoe Whittaker, the narrator of this convoluted novel of suspense from bestseller Moretti (While You Were Gone), used to be Hilary Lawlor, a student who dropped out of college in California and turned to drug dealing in 2009 after her adoptive mother’s death. Her testimony helped destroy a notorious sex-trafficking ring, but she fled across the country and changed her name before the perpetrators’ trial. By 2014, she’s married to Henry Whittaker, a controlling Manhattan businessman. After a college roommate recognizes her at a charity function, Zoe is nearly struck by a hit-and-run driver, and her apartment is ransacked. She concludes that one of the traffickers has found her and is trying to kill her, but perhaps she’s mistaken. Zoe’s blend of disloyalty to friends and naive trust in men with obviously sinister motives renders her unsympathetic at times. An implausible plot and chronological inconsistencies may also trouble some readers, but Moretti maintains a fast pace and creates a chillingly satisfying villain in suave, manipulative Henry. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media.

Starred review from July 15, 2016
A woman tries to hide--and outrun--her past in this fast-paced thriller from Moretti (Binds That Tie, 2014, etc.).Zoe is living the fabulous life as the wife of the handsome, successful, and rich Henry Whittaker. She can hardly believe her luck--marrying one of New York's most eligible men, wearing luxurious clothing, and living in a beautiful apartment. But life isn't quite what it seems for Zoe, because she has a dark past she can't share with anyone. In fact, she used to have an entirely different name and a dangerous, drug-related lifestyle before she moved to the city and reinvented herself. But now, it seems that someone who knows about her previous identity is looking for her, and whoever it is won't stop until he or she finds her. Zoe's knowledge of her own history is tenuous--her adoptive mother is dead, and she doesn't know anything about her biological relatives. Along with a newfound journalist friend, Zoe searches for the truth about her family in hopes of outrunning whomever's searching for her. However, the more Zoe finds out about her biological family, the more she--and her family members--seems to be targeted by her mysterious hunter. Soon she isn't sure whom to trust or whom to turn to for protection. Moretti creates a shocking mystery that will keep readers turning the pages. Parts of the ending may seem a little too coincidental, but the conclusion is explosive and satisfying enough that it doesn't really matter. Great pacing and true surprises make this an exciting read. Fans of twisted thrillers featuring complex female characters will devour Moretti's latest.
