About this audiobook

Summary

Detective Rachel Hadley has built her career on trusting evidence over instinct—but nothing in her experience prepares her for Millbrook, Connecticut, where 847 people have vanished between one heartbeat and the next. Running faucets. Cooling coffee. A single witness spinning a tale about celestial lights. Every clue she uncovers contradicts the last, and the deeper she descends—literally—into the town's foundations, the more she suspects the real threat isn't what took these people. It's who wants her to stop looking.
