For nearly a year Beth has been planning a new beginning, one with a new look, new name, and a new city. One small slip and her violent husband will find her. A couple hundred miles away, Jeffrey returns home from a work trip to find his wife, Sabine, is missing. She's taken almost nothing with her; her abandoned car is the only evidence the police have, and all signs point to foul play. The detective on the case will stop at nothing to find out what happened. The only thing that's certain is that someone is lying-- and the truth won't stay buried for long. -- adapted from jacket
